A Method to Diagnose Faults in Linear Analog Circuits using an Adaptive Tester
This work presents a new diagnosis method for use in an adaptive analog tester. The tester is able to detect faults in any linear circuit by learning a reference behavior in a fir...

Loki: A State-Driven Fault Injector for Distributed Systems
Distributed applications can fail in subtle ways that depend on the state of multiple parts of a system. This complicates the validation of such systems via fault injection, since...

Whither Generic Recovery from Application Faults? A Fault Study using Open-Source Software
This paper tests the hypothesis that generic recovery techniques, such as process pairs, can survive most application faults without using application-specific information. We ex...

Test Quality and Fault Risk in Digital Filter Datapath BIST
An objective of DSP testing should be to ensure that any errors due to missed faults are infrequent compared to a circuit’s intrinsic errors, such as overflow. A method is prop...

Testing for Imperfect Integration of Legacy Software Components
In the manufacturing domain, few new distributed systems are built ground-up; most contain wrapped legacy components. While the legacy components themselves are already well-teste...

Runtime repair of software faults using event-driven monitoring
In software with emergent properties, despite the best efforts to remove faults before execution, there is a high likelihood that faults will occur during runtime. These faults c...

Toward A Quantifiable Definition of Software Faults
An important aspect of developing models relating the number and type of faults in a software system to a set of structural measurement is defining what constitutes a fault. By de...

Mutation of Java Objects
Fault insertion based techniqueshave been used for measuring test adequacy and testability of programs. Mutation analysis inserts faults into a program with the goal of creating m...
