Answer

According to Gremlin there are three steps:

  1. Planning an experiment where you design and choose a scenario in which your system should fail to operate properly
  2. You execute the smallest possible experiment to test your theory
  3. If nothing goes wrong, you scale your experiment and make the blast radius bigger. If your system breaks, you better understand why and start dealing with it

The process then repeats itself either with same scenario or a new one.
