    /// CauseFailure provides a method to cause a failure in a messaging broker, usually used in conjunction with fail-over
    /// or other failure mode testing. In some cases failures may be automated, for example by shutting down an in-vm broker,
    /// or by sending a special control signal to a broker over a network connection. In other cases, it may be preferable
    /// to ask a user interactively to cause a failure scenario, in which case an implementation may display a prompt or
    /// dialog box asking for notification once the failure has been caused. The purpose of this interface is to abstract
    /// the exact cause and nature of a failure out of failure test cases.
