Abstract
The present invention provides a method and apparatus for defining verbs and adverbs. The method includes creating at least one of a verb and adverb, wherein the at least one of a verb and adverb are adapted to form sequences and the sequences are adapted to create errors in a system. The method further includes defining attributes of the at least one of a verb and adverb.
Claims20
A method for injecting faults into a system, the method comprising:
- creating at least one of a verb and adverb;
- defining attributes of the at least one of a verb and adverb;
- forming one or more fault sequences from the at least one of a verb and adverb, wherein the at least one of a verb and adverb are adapted to form the one or more fault sequences;
- and
- providing the one or more fault sequences to the system, wherein the fault sequences are adapted to create errors in the system.
A method for injecting faults into a system, the method comprising:
- creating at least one of a verb and adverb, wherein the at least one of a verb and adverb are adapted to form fault sequences;
- defining the at least one of a verb and adverb by associating the at least one of a verb and adverb with existing fault sequences;
- and
- providing the fault sequences to the system, wherein the fault sequences are adapted to create errors in the system.
An article comprising one or more machine-readable storage media containing instructions that when executed enable a processor to:
- create at least one of a verb and adverb;
- define attributes of the at least one of a verb and adverb;
- form one or more fault sequences from the at least one of a verb and adverb, wherein the at least one of a verb and adverb are adapted to form the one or more fault sequences;
- and
- provide the one or more fault sequences to a system, wherein the fault sequences are adapted to create errors in the system.

- create at least one of a verb and adverb, wherein the at least one of a verb and adverb are adapted to form fault sequences;
- define the at least one of a verb and adverb by associating the at least one of a verb and adverb with existing fault sequences;
- and
- provide the fault sequences to the system, wherein the fault sequences are adapted to create errors in the system.
An apparatus for injecting faults into a system, the apparatus comprising:
- means for creating at least one of a verb and adverb;
- means for defining attributes of the at least one of a verb and adverb;
- means for forming one or more fault sequences from the at least one of a verb and adverb, wherein the at least one of a verb and adverb are adapted to form the one or more fault sequences;
- and
- means for providing the one or more fault sequences to the system, wherein the fault sequences are adapted to create errors in the system.
