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.
