Download or read book SIMPLE A Prototype Software Fault Injection Tool written by and published by . This book was released on 2002 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fault-injection techniques can be used to methodically assess the degree of fault tolerance afforded by a system. In this thesis, we introduce a Java-based, semi-automatic fault-injection test harness, called Software Fault Injection Mechanized Prototype Lightweight Engine (SIMPLE). SIMPLE employs a state-based fault injection approach designed to validate test suites. It also can assist developers to assess the properties of a system such as robustness, reliability, and performance. SIMPLE employs fault acceleration to test a system's fault- tolerant capabilities. We present an object-oriented analysis of the system and several case studies, using software fault injection on specific, targeted systems, to assess SIMPLE's effectiveness.

Book excerpt: Software testing is a very important phase in the software development life cycle. The quality and reliability of software are two major concerns of software testing. Developers assume that there are hidden bugs in software products because it is improbable to encounter all error paths of a complex system in a controlled test environment. Software has been an integral part of safety and mission critical systems. Software fault injection can help achieve this criterion. Fault injection involves deliberately inducing faults into software systems to observe their behavior in real time. This helps in identification of dependencies and improves fault tolerance algorithms and mechanisms. Compile time injection is an experimental-based approach to system's reliability and resilience. This approach requires injecting faults into source code of system under test and examining its behavior during the system's compilation phase. The goal of the project is to develop a software fault injection tool (C-SWFIT). This tool is capable of injecting faults during the pre-execution phase of a program/software and assessing fault injection effects. This tool is designed to be intuitive and easy to use by software developers looking to test software tolerance and resilience.

This book was released on 1999 with total page 432 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Annotation Presenting all 20 of the conferences talks, covers assessing and coping with commercial off-the-shelf components, formal methods, distributed systems, time-triggered architecture, fault tolerance and safety, models of partitioning for integrated modular avionics, dependability evaluation, and probabilistic guarantees. A summary is also provided for a panel on certifying and assessing critical systems. Among the specific topics are building fault-tolerant hardware clocks from commercial components, improving the performance of atomic broadcast protocols using the newsmonger technique, the experimentally validating high-speed systems using physical fault injection, and evaluating dependability using a multi-criteria decision analysis procedure. No mention is made of where or when the conference was held. There is no subject index. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR.

This book was released on 2018-10-25 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fault injection-based automated testing (FIAT) environment, which can be used to experimentally characterize and evaluate distributed realtime systems under fault-free and faulted conditions is described. A survey is presented of validation methodologies. The need for fault insertion based on validation methodologies is demonstrated. The origins and models of faults, and motivation for the FIAT concept are reviewed. FIAT employs a validation methodology which builds confidence in the system through first providing a baseline of fault-free performance data and then characterizing the behavior of the system with faults present. Fault insertion is accomplished through software and allows faults or the manifestation of faults to be inserted by either seeding faults into memory or triggering error detection mechanisms. FIAT is capable of emulating a variety of fault-tolerant strategies and architectures, can monitor system activity, and can automatically orchestrate experiments involving insertion of faults. There is a common system interface which allows ease of use to decrease experiment development and run time. Fault models chosen for experiments on FIAT have generated system responses which parallel those observed in real systems under faulty conditions. These capabilities are shown by two example experiments each using a different fault-tolerance strategy. Czeck, Edward W. and Siewiorek, Daniel P. and Segall, Zary Z.

Download or read book Software Implemented Fault Insertion written by Edward W. Czeck and published by . This book was released on 1987 with total page 46 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report presents a model for fault insertion through software, describes its implementation on a fault tolerant computer, FTMP, presents a summary of fault detection, identifications, and reconfiguration data collected with software implemented fault insertion and compares the results to hardware fault insertion data. The software fault insertion model assumes faults manifest to data errors at the output of a task. The implementation of the software fault insertion model on FTMP allows inserted faults to emulate faults in the processor data path, processor control path, system memory, and system transmit bus. The experimental results showed detection time there was no correlation between software inserted faults, and hardware inserted faults; this is because hardware inserted faults must manifest to errors before detection, whereas software inserted faults immediately exercise the error detection mechanisms. In summary, although software fault insertion does not map directly to hardware fault insertion, experiments indicate software fault insertion as a means to characterize the fault handling capabilities of a system in error detection, identification, and error recovery.
