Abstract

A method and system for assessing resiliency of a system is provided. A fault injection system may, for each of a plurality of dimensions of a fault profile, access an indication of possible values for the dimension, which may be specified by a user. The fault injection system may, for each of a plurality of fault profiles, automatically create the fault profile by, for each of the plurality of dimensions, selecting by the computing system a possible value for that dimension. For at least some of the fault profiles, the fault injection system injects a fault based on the fault profile into the system and determines whether a failure was detected while the fault was injected.
