Abstract
Software implemented fault injection technique is gaining much interest in evaluating system dependability. For complex software applications fault injection experiments take a lot of time. In the paper we present an innovative approach to fault injection by performing it in LAN distributed environment. The paper presents the system architecture, task scheduling and the analysis of its effectiveness. The presented considerations are illustrated with practical results.
