The fault attack testing is a type of experience based testing technique. The experience based techniques are based on the experiences of software testers in development and analysis. There are various types of experience based techniques. They are: Error guessing, checklist based, exploratory testing and fault attack testing.
Error guessing technique:
In the error guessing technique, the errors which can occur are guessed. The tester guesses the errors which might be introduced during the development of the software.
Checklist based testing:
In checklist based testing, the tester uses the checklist as a guide which reminds him the areas of the application to be tested.
Exploratory Testing:
In this testing, the tester plans and designs what to be tested next while execution of the software.
Fault Attack Testing:
The software crashes are focused on trying to involve some failures. The attack will mainly focus on user interface, operating system, and interfacing system, database API’s. Eg: Data exchanges can tend to a failure. The fault attack in software is a technique for improving the total area of the complete test by introducing faults in to the software to test the decisions. During the execution of a code the fault may cause an error which is called as invalid state in its system boundary. Here each new error in the system boundary acts as a fault. There are two types of fault injection.
- Compile time injection
- Run time fault injection
Compile-time injection:Â
In Compile-time injection technique, the source code is altered to inject simulated faults. One of the method which follows this procedure is called as mutation testing which completely changes the lines of code which contains the faults. An example the technique could be changing b = b + 1 to b = b – 1. The refinement of code mutation is code insertion fault injection which adds code apart from modifying it.
Run-time Fault Injection:Â
In the run time fault injection, the software is triggered to inject the fault into the running software. There are many numbers of method via in which the fault is injected and that is through numerous physical methods and different triggers like: Time based triggers and interrupt based triggers.
There are different ways to introduce the faults in the system through triggers they are:
- Corruption of memory space: This technique corrupts the RAM, processors and registers.
- System interposition techniques: This is used in the fault propagation from operating system and kernel interfaces etc
- Network level injection: This type of technique is known to the corruption, loss and re-organizing the network packets in the network areas.
Generally fault is a state of software caused by an error. It is a condition which makes the software to fail to perform its requirements.

What are Fault and Defect?
Defect: It can be simply defined as a variance between expected and actual. A defect is an error found AFTER the application goes into production.
Fault: It’s a programming mistake. A false, wrong step, process or data definition in a software product.
What are the techniques used in introducing the fault?
Error guessing, checklist-based, exploratory testing and fault attack testing.
Fault: It is a state of software caused by an error. It is a condition which makes the software to fail to perform its requirements. It is a synonym of bug. The bug usually refers to fault in the development environment.
Defect: Defect refers to the fault in test environment. It occurs when the behavior of the software developed by developer is not same as the expectation of the client.
Techniques used in introducing the fault:
1. Compile time injection: The source code is altered to inject simulated faults. The method which follows this procedure is called mutation testing. Completely changes the lines of code which contains the faults.
eg: changing b=b+1 to b=b-1.
2. Run time fault injection: Here, the software is triggered to inject the faults into the running software. There are numerous physical methods to inject the faults and different triggers like :
– Time based triggers
– Interrupt based triggers
Defect: Defect is a result of error.
1. Fault is the state of the software which occurs when an error is injected in the software.
Defect is the error that is found in the software while testing and needs to be fixed.
2. Some techniques used to introduce a fault are:
Corruption of memory space, System Interposition, Network level injection.
Fault is the mistake in the code which leads to defect in the software.
Fault Attack testing is the technique used in introducing the fault.
Fault is the condition which makes the software to fail from performing the requirements and is generally caused by an error in the software whereas defect is an error found by the tester which is made by the developer in coding. Faults can be introduced in compile time or run time errors by various techniques like Corruption of memory space ,System interposition techniques,Network level injection.

1. Fault is an incorrect process or error in the code and defect is a condition where software does not meet the requirements.
2. TEchniques used in introducing faults are: corruption of the memory space, System interposition and network level injections.
A defect is an error or a bug, in the application which is created. A programmer while designing and building the software can make mistakes or error. These mistakes or errors mean that there are flaws in the software. These are called defects.
Fault: An incorrect step, process, or data definition in a computer program which causes the program to perform in an unintended or unanticipated manner.
The techniques used in introducing the fault are:
1. Error guessing technique
2. checklist based techniques
3. Exploratory testing techniques
4. Fault attack testing techniques.
4a. compile time injection
4b. Run time fault injection
Fault is the mistake that has done during the software development process by software programmer which has not fill-full the client requirement or any technical issue in the software. QA tester can test these type of error by testing the software.
Fault Attack Testing: This kind of testing depends on software tester’s experience. There are two type of testing.
1: Checklist based testing: This kind of testing guess during the development of the software.
2: Error base testing : In this testing tester has a checklist that reminds tester that which testing has done or not.
Fault: Fault is an incorrect step, process, or data definition in a computer program. It is a condition that causes the software to fail to perform its required function.
Defect: A defect is introduced into the software as the result of an error.
Techniques used in introducing the fault:
1. Compile-time injection: When faults are introduced directly into the code.
2. Run time fault injection: When faults are introduced through the use of software triggers that cause specific scenarios to occur in a running system.
There are different ways to introduce the faults in the system through triggers they are:
— Corruption of memory space: This technique corrupts the RAM, processors and registers.
— System interposition techniques: This is used in the fault propagation from operating system and kernel interfaces etc
— Network level injection: This type of technique is known to the corruption, loss and re-organizing the network packets in the network areas.
1. A Defect is when something is not working the way that it was intended to whereas a Fault is when something is not working correctly at all.
2. There are a couple different techniques that are used in order to introduce a fault and those are the following: Compile-Time Injection and Run-Time Fault Injection.
Fault An incorrect step, process, or data definition in a computer program which causes the program to perform in an unintended or unanticipated manner.
Defect is an error or bug which is created during the designing and building phase of the software.
Fault: It is a condition that causes the software to fail to perform its required function.
A mistake in coding is called Error, error found by tester is called Defect.
There are two types of fault injection.
• Compile time injection: It is a fault injection technique where source code is modified to inject
simulated faults into a system.
• Run time fault injection: It makes use of software trigger to inject a fault into a software system
during run time. The Trigger can be of two types, Time Based triggers
and Interrupt Based Triggers.
Error: Any incorrect human action that causes a problem in the system is called Error
Defect: is an error found by the tester during the process.
2. Techniques used in Fault attack testing:
Compile time injection
Run time fault injection
Fault is a mistake that is willingly injected or introduce in a software to test the behavior. It helps determine a system capacity or boundaries because it will generate errors that will be considered invalid. Unlike Fault, defects are found in a software during testing and are not expected but also helps improve the software.
Two techniques are used to inject fault, such as Compile Time Injection which involved the alteration of a source code to inject simulated faults, whereas the Run Time Fault is referring to the injection of fault in the running software.

Fault is a state of software caused by an error .It is a condition which makes the software to fail to perform its requirements.
Defects are the fault in the test environments . They are errors found by the tester . Defects occur when the behavior of the software developed is not as expected by the client requirement.
The different ways to introduce the faults in the system are corruption of memory space ,system interposition techniques and network level injection.
fault causes the software to fail were as, defect happens at the last process.
the techniques used introducing the faults are compile time injection and run time fault injection.
1. Fault is the state of the software which occurs when an error is injected in the software.
Defect is the error that is found in the software while testing and needs to be fixed.
2. Some techniques used to introduce a fault are:
Corruption of memory space, System Interposition, Network level injection.
1. Fault: Fault is a condition caused by the errors in the software which make it fail to perform its required functions.
Defect: defect is referred to the difference between actual output and expected output.
2. There are two types of fault injection methods:
a. Compile time injection:
In this method the source code is changed/altered to inject the faults in to the program.
b. Run time fault injection:
In this method the software is prompted to inject the fault in to running software.
A Defect is something that makes the software nonfunctional because of mistakes in the development of the software, which could include bad planning and design, in development. A fault is something that takes place when a mistake is deliberately injected in the software, at various locations and time points causing the software to become nonfunctional, or even insecure.
Faults can be injected variously. It could be at compile time in the source code. That is called compile time injection. Run time injection occurs when a fault is injected while executing the software program. It can happen by corrupting the memory space, or by a system interposition technique where faults are propagated by the operating system, kernel interfaces etc. It can also happen in network places by creating corruption, loss, and reorganization in network packets.
Fault is a technique used for improvement. It is used to cause a system fail to see if the software is doing what it is suppose to be doing during the situation.
Compile time injection
Run time fault injection
Fault testing is experience-based testing. This testing is done to improve the quality of the software.
Various techniques
compile time injection
run time injection
these methods are used to check how the application handles without system crashing
Fault
Fault is caused due to incorrect step,process or data definition in the software program.Fault is the condition that causes the software to not to perform as required.
Defect
When the actual requirement of the software deviates from the expected user requirements then the condition is called defect.Defect is actually find out by the testers.
Fault attack testing
Fault attack testing is the process of introducing faults in the software or products to test the decisions.During the software development faults can be introduced and it is known as invalid state.two types of fault attack testing
1.Compilation time injection
2.Run time injection
Compilation time injection:In this technique source code is altered to inject the fault for Ex if in the code the a=a+b can be altered to a=a-b to inject the fault.this method of testing is called as mutation testing.
Run time injection:In this technique fault can be introduced in the run time
Memory space corruption: in this software is corrupted by altering the processors,RAM so that the fault can be injected
Network level injection:corruption of network packets in the network areas
What is Fault and Defect?
Defect is difference or incompatibility between the expected software or program and the actual or created software.
Fault is the errors or improper functioning of software due to the defects in it.
What are the techniques used in introducing the fault?
Compile time injection and Run time injection.
1. When a software does not perform as it requires, it is known as fault. It is a state resulted by an error. When a tester detects an error in a software application as a result of mistake in coding, it is known as defect.
2. The techniques used in introducing the faults are:
a. Compile-time injection: It is a technique in which source code is modified to inject imitated faults into a system.
b. Run-time fault injection: It is a technique that uses a software trigger to inject a fault into a running software system.
Fault is an error that leads to the improper functioning of software. Defect is the unexpected result given by the software which is the product of that fault.

1. Fault is a condition of software that makes the software to fail to meet the requirements of client.
Defect is the variance between actual results and expected results
2. Fault is introduced by 2 ways
Run time fault injection
Compile time fault injection
1)Fault: Fault is a state of software caused by an error and it is a condition which makes software to fail to preform its duties or requirements.
2)Defect: A defect or an error can be found in the devoloped application. Usually while designing and developing the software the developers can make errors in the application, so QA’s look for errors or defects to fix them by developers again.
2)The techniques used in inroducing faults:
Complie time injection : By altering the source code faults are injected here.
Run time fault injection -Software is triggerd to inject the faluts in the running software, some of the trigerring techniques are time based and interupt based triggers. There also other ways to trigger and injectb faults: Corrupting the memory sapce, Network level injection and system interpostition technique. Manily this falut attacking in the software is a technique to improve the total area of testing to complete the test by introducing faults into software to test the decisions.

2. There are a couple different techniques that are used in order to introduce a fault and those are the following: Compile-Time Injection and Run-Time Fault Injection.
Fault is when the system fails from performing correctly and Defect means the actual result of the software is different from the expected result.
The techniques used in introducing the fault are , Compile time injection and Run time fault injection.
1.Fault: Fault is a state of software caused by an error.
Defect: Defect refers that the actual output is not same as the expected output.
2. Error guessing technique, Checklist based technique, Exploratory technique, Fault attack technique
Fault attack technique has 2 types
i) Compile time fault injection
ii) Runtime fault injection
1.Fault is a state of software caused by an error. It is a condition which makes the software to fail to perform its requirements.
Defect is a problem reported by the customer during usage of the software application.
2.Run time fault injection
Compile time fault injection
1.) A fault is a state of software where it fails due to an error and a defect is a variation between actual results and expected results.
2.) Some techniques that are introduced to find the fault are:
-Error guessing techique is where the tester uses experience to guess the error that may be introduced into the software during the development.
-Check list based testing is where the tester uses a checklist of areas to remind the tester areas that must be tested.
-Exploratory tesing is where the tester explores on intuition and plans what to be tested next while execution of the software.
-Fault Attack testing is where the software crashes are focused on trying to involve some failures. It is a techique for improving the total are of testing by introducing faults to test the decision making of the software and every new error acts as a fault.
Techniques used to inject the fault are:
-Compile Time injection is a technique where the source of code is altered to inject simulated faults. One method of this testing is mutation testing which changes the lines of codes which contain faults and the refinement of this is code insertion fault injection which adds code instead of modifying it.
– Run time fault injection is a test in which the a fault is injected into a running software. There is a number of ways to perform this test such as time based triggers and interrupt based triggers. Some examples of these ways are corruption of memory space, system interpostion techniques and network level injection.
1) Fault is an incorrect step which is responsible for the unintended behavior of any program in the computer.
Defect is the difference between the actual outcomes and expected outputs.
2) Compile time injection and Run time injection
1. A fault is an incorrect process, step, or data definition in a software that leads to the software being unable to perform its requirements. A defect is an unexpected error or bug that arises during or after the development of a software.
2. One of the techniques used for introducing faults is compile-time injection. This technique is performed by altering the source code to inject simulated faults. One type of method that utilizes this technique is mutation testing. Another technique used to introduce faults is run-time fault injection.
