Abstract
Fault injection has long been recognized to be a valuable approach for validating fault tolerance. Fault tolerance can be implemented either in hardware or in software. An example of fault-injection mechanism for evaluating hardware-based fault-tolerant scheme is given in [Ar193]. Examples of evaluating software-based fault-tolerant schemes are given in [Avr92, Gos93, Tap93, Avr94, Kan921. This paper presents the behavior model of a software under hardware faults using a Software Fault Injection Tool (SFIT) [Tap93, Avr941. The model is based on software based fault injection process that establishes a link between the behavior of the program and the fault occurrence process in the hardware.
