Abstract :
The paper presents a new tool (FITS) for fault insertion in Win32 environment. Using processor trace mode operation we assure high accuracy in analyzing fault effects in the system. Moreover we provide some supplementary functions which simplify this process. The productivity of FITS have been illustrated in many experimental results related to the analysis of system sensitivity to hardware faults and evaluation of developed error detection and fault tolerance methods
