csXceptionAutomated Fault-Injection Environment

Challenge

Perform intensive testing in a HW/SW system with minimal intrusiveness cost effectively

Simulate realistic executions conditions and worst failure scenarios.

Identify failures and its causes providing feedback for correction or redesign.

Solution

csXception spots weak points in the system, relying on advanced debugging and performance monitoring hardware features, available in common processors, to inject faults and monitor the activation of errors and their impact on the target system

Benefit

csXception performs state-of-art product certification on the dependability/RAMS area. It brings in open technologies and standards to provide a professional environment for performing fault-injection based tests.
