Abstract
The key technology that the author would like to see adopted by
the masses is a family of software fault injection algorithms that can
predict where to concentrate testing. From a novelty standpoint, these
algorithms were (and still are) unique among other methods of performing
fault injection. The author concedes that the algorithms are
computational, but the results can provide unequaled information about
how “bad things” propagate through systems. Because of that,
he thinks fault injection methods are valuable to anyone responsible for
software quality, including those working in one-person independent
software vendors (ISVs) or even the largest corporations
