Open Access padlockePrints

The Newcastle University research output collection, currently available on ePrints, will shortly be moving to a new open repository platform, Figshare. To prepare for the data migration we have paused adding new content to ePrints, and will resume once the new repository is launched. During this time you will continue to have access to ePrints (but no new content will appear). We will share updates here when available.

Abstract

Testing the Fault Tolerance Mechanisms (FTMs) is crucial for the development of today’s Web Service applications. In this work, we propose a methodology for assessing the performance and the efficacy of FTMs applied to Web services applications. We present a tool that uses application level fault injection techniques to inject communication faults by using a network Emulator Service without any modification to the system. The tool also generates additional workload on the tested system in order to produce more realistic results. The tool offers full control over the emulated environments in addition to the ability to inject application specific faults.
