Abstract

The evaluation of the gain in reliability of multiversion software is one of the key issues in the safety assessment of high integrity systems. Fault simulation has been proposed as a practical method to estimate diversity of multi-version software. This paper applies data-flow perturbation as an implementation of the fault injection technique to evaluate redundant systems under various conditions. A protection system is used as an example to illustrate the evaluation of software structural diversity, optimal selection of channel-pairs and the assessment of different designs.
