The experiment was primarily undertaken to analyse software system behaviour in the presence of defects to enable proactive and cost effective preventive measures. This paper defines the experiments that have been conducted by Trimentus Technologies (Trimentus) on Fault Injection modelling:

♦       Explanation of Fault Injection modelling and its benefits

♦       Results proposed out of the experiment conducted

♦       Trimentus Technologies' approach towards fault injection experiments

♦       Implementation methodology followed

♦       Actual inferences arrived at subsequent to analysis of results

♦       Benefits accrued as a result of the study

This experiment was conducted as a part of Trimentus's Einstein Research Laboratory (ERL) initiatives.
