The importance of fault injection techniques is widely recognized by the critical systems industry. Fault injection allows evaluating error handling/mitigation mechanisms and assessing system safety properties under exceptional conditions. Even of more relevance, the use of fault injection is currently recommended by many international standards, such as ISO-26262 and DO-178B, to support the system validation and certification process. This chapter introduces design and technical challenges of fault injection techniques in the context of real industrial applications. Discussion starts from a generic framework that presents the functional components implementing a fault injection campaign. The adoption of the framework to support system evaluation by means of fault injection is shown for Intel Core i7 and AUTOSAR.

Abstract
The importance of fault injection techniques is widely recognized by the critical systems industry. Fault injection allows evaluating error handling/mitigation mechanisms and assessing system safety properties under exceptional conditions. Even of more relevance, the use of fault injection is currently recommended by many international standards, such as ISO-26262 and DO-178B, to support the system validation and certification process. This chapter introduces design and technical challenges of fault injection techniques in the context of real industrial applications. Discussion starts from a generic framework that presents the functional components implementing a fault injection campaign. The adoption of the framework to support system evaluation by means of fault injection is shown for Intel Core i7 and AUTOSAR.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
