A Proposed Fault Model for Software-Testing
Gong Yun-zha · 2004
Fault model is the foundation for testing technology, which is, meanwhile, an important indicator of the sophistication of a testing method. Software errors mainly fall into the two categories: one is the wrong result in computing, and the other is the blank-out of the system. The errors of the first kind are easy to detect while those of the second type are serious and less likely to be detected. Dead cycle error is the most common type of dead halt faults, but which is very difficult to model for detecting because of its complexity. In this paper, 17 dead halt faults are proposed for the engineering application based on the C++ language, a further combination of these typical faults can formulate a desirable faults model of software dead halt faults oriented.
