Goals

Students should be able to :
- determine safety properties of computing systems;
- implement appropriate fault tolerance approaches depending on the nature of studied systems;
- evaluate dependability attributes using analytical approaches;
- Improve system robustness by using fault detection and elimination techniques;

Content

I. Dependability:

Functional and structural redundancy.
Structural redundancy techniques (hardware, temporal, information and software)
Dependability evaluation techniques: combinatorial and Markov models.
The FMEA analysis.

II. Software Testing:

Goals and limitations of testing
Testing techniques based on the program structures or on specifications
Regression testing, conformance testing

Prerequisites
