Cassandra Track: Property-Based, Stateful, and Simulation Testing in Apache Cassandra

Cassandra is a large code base with many interleaved subsystems. This makes reasoning about possible inputs and states unmanageable.

To better handle the testing needed, we can turn to Property-based, Stateful, and Simulation testing to help walk the search space.

Rather than write tests over inputs we know well, we can leverage randomized inputs and randomized access patterns to help find edge cases developers never would have thought of!
