csXCEPTION
In critical sectors, before deploying applications and systems, these must be subjected to intensive testing in order to guarantee that the system and built-in fault-tolerance mechanisms are working as expected. Ensuring the system responds appropriately to unusual or exceptional events requires more than traditional testing. Fault injection is the answer and Xception does it like none other.
csXception is used by space agencies around the world and it relies 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. Xception is able to test systems in exceptional field situations and worst failure scenarios. It spots weak points in the system and provides feedback for correction or redesign. Those systems can be evaluated under realistic conditions with minimal intrusiveness and reliable validation of fault tolerance mechanisms.
