Abstract
A fault-based software testing method and system are provided. The fault-based software testing method includes: generating a plurality of error programs by injecting faults into a testing target program; grouping the generated error programs into a plurality of groups with respect to respective test data, and selecting representative error programs with respect to the respective groups; and when an error is detected in the execution result of the representative error programs with respect to the corresponding test data, determining that errors are detected in all the error programs of the corresponding group.
