Abstract :
An automated real-time distributed accelerated fault injection environment (FIAT) is presented as an attempt to provide suitable tools for the validation process. The authors present the concepts and design, as well as the implementation and evaluation of the FIAT environment. As this system has been built, evaluated and is currently in use, an example of fault tolerant systems such as checkpointing and duplicate and match is used to show its usefulness.<>
