Structuring Software Fault Injection Tools for Programmatic Evaluation

摘要

The increasing complexity of software systems challenges the assurance of the likewise increasing dependability demands. Software fault injection is a widely accepted means of assessing dependability, but far less accessible and integrated into engineering practices than unit or integration testing. To address this issue, we present a dataset of existing fault injection tools in a programmatically evaluable model. Our Fault Injection ADvisor (FIAD) suggests applicable fault injectors mainly by analyzing definitions from Infrastructure as Code (IaC) solutions. Perspectively, FIAD can yield findings on how to classify fault injectors and is extensible in a way that it can additionally suggest workloads or run fault injectors.
