A Survey on Fault Injection Techniques
نویسندگان
چکیده
Fault tolerant circuits are currently required in several major application sectors. Besides and in complement to other possible approaches such as proving or analytical modeling whose applicability and accuracy are significantly restricted in the case of complex fault tolerant systems, fault-injection has been recognized to be particularly attractive and valuable. Fault injection provides a method of assessing the dependability of a system under test. It involves inserting faults into a system and monitoring the system to determine its behavior in response to a fault. Several fault injection techniques have been proposed and practically experimented. They can be grouped into hardware-based fault injection, software-based fault injection, simulation-based fault injection, emulation-based fault injection and hybrid fault injection. This paper presents a survey on fault injection techniques with comparison of the different injection techniques and an overview on the different

Fault Injection and Its Techniques
A fault is a defect in a program, usually difficult to pinpoint .A faults may occur at single points or distributed points. In software testing, fault injection is a technique of introducing faults into the code for improving the coverage and usually used with stress testing for robustness of the developed software. When the fault-tolerance mechanisms detect an error, they may initiate several ...
متن کاملApplication of Three Physical Fault Injection Techniques to the Experimental Assessment of the MARS Architecture Johan Karlsson
This paper describes and compares three physical fault injection techniques—heavy-ion radiation, pin-level injection, and electromagnetic interference—and their use in the validation of MARS, a fault-tolerant distributed real-time system. The main features of the injection techniques are first summarized, and then the MARS system is described. The distributed testbed setup and the common test s...

متن کاملFPGA-based Fault Injection Techniques for Fast Evaluation of Fault Tolerance in VLSI Circuits1
Designers of safety-critical VLSI systems are asking for effective tools for evaluating and validating their designs. Fault Injection is commonly adopted for this task, and its effectiveness is therefore a key factor. In this paper we propose to exploit FPGAs to speed-up Fault Injection for fault tolerance evaluation of VLSI circuits. A complete Fault Injection environment is described, relying...
متن کاملComparison of Physical and Software-Implemented Fault Injection Techniques
This paper addresses the issue of characterizing the respective impact of fault injection techniques. Three physical techniques and one software-implemented technique that have been used to assess the fault tolerance features of the MARS faulttolerant distributed real-time system are compared and analyzed. After a short summary of the fault tolerance features of the MARS architecture and especi...
