Underlying Concepts and Assumptions for Faulty Hardware Safety Testing

Abstract

Ground rules, techniques, and examples are presented for a testing technique which deliberately uses faulty hardware to determine the consequences of manufacturing errors or out-of-tolerance conditions. The concept additionally offers a means of estimating some tolerance limits for the design and a means of obtaining useful data from tests usually considered to be worthless because of errors in configuration or test conditions.
