Fail-Safe Test Generation in Safety Critical Systems

摘要

This paper provides a technique for testing proper failure mitigation in safety-critical systems. Unlike other approaches which integrate behavioral and failure models, and then generate tests from the integrated model, we build failure-mitigation tests from an existing behavioral test suite, using an explicit mitigation model for which we generate mitigation paths which are then woven at selected failure points into the original test suite to create failure-mitigation tests.
