Abstract

Negative path testing in a bootloader environment can include backing up a global state of a component under test, injecting a fault to trigger an error in the component under test in a bootloader environment, executing error handling instructions until a checkpoint of the component under test in the bootloader environment is reached, restoring the global state to the component under test from the backup, and restarting the component under test.
