US 2025/0086098 A1 · AUTOMATIC ROLLBACK OF INJECTED FAULTS IN SYSTEM TESTING

Abstract

A fault injection system injects one or more faults into software or hardware components of a target system and automatically rolls back the injected faults upon incident creation at the target system. In one embodiment, modules of the fault injection system identify or receive one or more fault injection parameters for a target component, inject one or more faults into the target component according to the parameters, and monitor performance of the component and the target system to assess target system performance under adverse conditions. Responsive to detecting that an incident has been created at the target system, the fault injection system implements countermeasures to automatically roll back the injected faults and updates the incident to notify the target system of the fault injection testing.

Dependent claims

A computer-implemented method comprising:

determining, by a fault injection system, one or more fault injection parameters for testing one or more target components of a target system;
injecting the one or more faults into the one or more target components of the target system according to the determined parameters;
monitoring behavior of the one or more target components and the target system to assess performance of the components and system under adverse conditions created by the one or more injected faults;
detecting, by the fault injection system, creation of an incident report at the target system;
and
implementing one or more countermeasures to automatically roll back the one or more injected faults responsive to detecting incident report creation.
