Software Defect Construction
This is the main topic of the forthcoming next issue of Debugged MZ/PE magazine. The most close term is called “fault injection” but I rediscovered it as a “software defect construction”, “software defect simulation” or “software defect modeling”. The latter term is also used to refer to construction of mathematical models related to software product quality and corresponding statistics but “modeling software defects” seems appropriate subtitle for the magazine front cover picture… Software defect construction is more general term than fault injection. The latter is used for testing but we want to simulate bugs and abnormal system conditions to study debugging and memory dump analysis techniques or to build reproduction environments. I actually recently found and bought the used copy of this book:
Software Fault Injection: Inoculating Programs Against Errors
and plan to write my own book with the following working title later:
Software Defect Construction: Simulation and Modeling of Software Bugs (ISBN: 978-1906717759)
