Software hazard mining

Software fault injection is a process that discovers how “badly” software can behave after its state gets corrupted. Fault injection results are sometimes viewed suspiciously since state corruption is hypothetically-based. In response to this suspicion, this paper explores the potential return-on-investment when artificial state corruptions are used. We will primarily focus on fault injection´s unique ability to reveal hazards that were inadvertently overlooked during software requirements and design. To our knowledge, this application of fault injection has never been exploited
