Deterministic pseudo-random fault event recordation and injection tool

An apparatus for recording and injecting a fault event during execution of a computer program, the apparatus comprising:

• a fault injector to detect a method call event during execution of a program, increment a counter to produce a counter value, and determine, based on a program execution state, a fault event to be generated, wherein the fault event is associated with a fault event type;
• a storage component to store the fault event type and the associated counter value;
• and
• a run time engine to generate the fault event.

A computer program product for recording and injecting a fault event during execution of a computer program, the computer program product comprising:

• a computer-usable medium having computer-usable program code embodied therein, the computer-usable program code comprising:
• computer-usable program code for detecting a method call event during execution of a program;
• computer-usable program code for incrementing a counter to produce a counter value;
• computer-usable program code for determining, based on a program execution state, a fault event to be generated, wherein the fault event is associated with a fault event type;
• computer-usable program code for storing the fault event type and the associated counter value;
• and
• computer-usable program code for generating the fault event.
