Self-healing mechanisms are increasingly attracting the interest of both industrial and research communities as a way of increasing reliability of software systems, while overcoming technical and cost limitations of classic analysis and testing techniques. Many recent studies focus on techniques for enabling self-healing mechanisms independently from software design. These approaches are effective, but often limited by early design decisions. In this position paper, we argue that a disciplined design approach can enable a wide and effective range of self-healing mechanisms, thus overcoming many limitations of the current approaches. We discuss the differences between design for testability and design for self-healing approaches, and we propose the foundation for a new design for self-healing methodology.
