K. Tso, E. Shokri, "An Integrated Environment for Development and Testing
of Software Fault Tolerant Systems", Computer-Aided Design, Test and Evaluation for
Dependability Workshop, Beijing, China, July, 1996
The need to experiment with software fault tolerance to investigate its effectiveness
and the desire to reduce repetitive effort in creating experimental SWFT systems
have motivated the development of an integrated testbed environ-ment which eases
the construction and evaluation of software fault tolerance systems. The integrated
environment comprises a library of reusable components from which a wide variety
of SWFT systems can be built. In addition, interface components supporting the seamless
integration of applications into the SWFT systems, and fault-injection components
supporting dependability evaluation are also provided. Another important ingredient
of the environment is a set of graphical tools to facilitate the creation of SWFT
systems from the reusable components, monitoring the execution of the resulting
SWFT systems, and evaluation their dependability through fault-injection testing.
