  • Embedded instruction sets for use in testing and error simulation of computing programs
    Patent number: 10229029
    Abstract: Systems and methods for allowing software developers and the like to embed various different types of code and/or data manipulations into a software product. The embedded code manipulation instructions may be accessed and executed by test engineers or other users to induce fault paths and the like in the software product at run-time for analyzing the software's response to the induced fault paths. For instance, a user application of a software manipulation framework may expose a list of all of the instruction sets to a test engineer or the like in conjunction with one or more testing procedures to be performed on the software. Unless accessed by the test engineer, all of the testing probes may be represented by noops or placeholders at runtime to limit performance impact on the software.
