There is no "enable negative tests" command. However, several
Polygraph features can be used to test behavior under "hostile" or
"erroneous" conditions.

For example, you can configure Polygraph 2.7 servers and/or robots to
abort transactions with a certain probability (see Agent PGL type).
Also, by appropriately configuring persistent connections on both
sides of the test, you can simulate frequent idle connection resets
and related HTTP race conditions.

If you have particular test(s) in mind, please let me know what they
are, and I will see if that is something Polygraph can/should support.

Alex.
