The fault injection technology is an important aspect in testability verification, because the actual fault injection in equipment can damage itself, so using circuit simulation fault injection method to instead. Research on the simulation method that based on PSPICE, using VC++ software to design a simulated fault injection system, its structure and function to achieve workflow introduced. Finally, taking a circuit for example uses the system to fault injection and analysis to prove the availability and correctness of the system.
Reliability is the most important feature in this more and more complex computer system era. Fault injection is dependability validation technique to evaluating the system. Hardware and Software implementations of fault injection have a long history and are much more mature than simulated fault injection. In this paper, we compare the differences between these three types of fault injections at first. Then, we identify and understand the types of fault. We design a low-cost, simulation-based fault injection system and design experiments to verify the correctness.
