Abstract :
A new fault insertion method to help debug diagnostic software of telecommunications systems is described. The method makes use of boundary scan to inject multiple and un-correlated faults in a telecom system carrying traffic. Both hardware and software implementation aspects are discussed. The new method allows the use of structural test as part of diagnostics software to locate faults
