Abstract

There are many distributed applications that incorporate application-specific reliability algorithms that operate on top of general-purpose networking, operating system, and programming language facilities. The authors present a framework for application-level reliability testing suitable for a wide range of distributed applications using low-level events and the automatic generation of series of these events. They also describe how they used this testing approach for a particular application
