Abstract

A method and system for dynamically injecting errors to a user design is disclosed. In one embodiment, the user design having internal states and parameters is run in a design verification system. A reconfigurable design monitor monitors a plurality of error conditions based on the internal states and parameters of the user design and generates a trigger event when a predefined error condition is met. The reconfigurable design monitor transmits a trigger event to an error injector. The error injector injects dynamic errors associated with the triggering event to the user design via a control path to test the user design under the predefined error condition.
