Software Fault Tolerance
During the development of software, it is infeasible to find all its bugs, which can reach as far back as the design phase. Therefore, it is reasonable to deal with the remaining software faults (bugs) during runtime to increase the overall reliability. This course will evaluate a selection of fault-tolerance mechanisms and analysis methods that can be applied statically or dynamically.
Outline
- Introduction
- Basic SFT Mechanisms
- Software Testing
- Symbolic Execution
- Bugs as Deviant Behavior
- Taint Analysis
- Microservices
- Fault Tolerance Patterns and Anti-Patterns
-
Chaos Monkey and other Netflix tools
Related Courses: In the field of software fault-tolerance we also offer a seminar that allows students to research on current topics and a computer lab to get hands-on experience for the mechanisms presented in the lecture.
