System and method for testing response to asynchronous system errors

摘要

An error response test system and method with increased functionality and improved performance is provided. The error response test system provides the ability to inject errors into the application under test to test the error response of the application under test in an automated and efficient manner. The error response test system injects asynchronous errors into the application under test by inserting code sequences of application code that are desired to create an error in the application under test. The error response test system inserts the error creation code directly into the object of the application under test. The inserted error creation code causes an error in the application under test at the specific point of insertion. The error creation code is designed to implement asynchronous errors that cannot normally be tested. Furthermore, the error creation code can be inserted in any location in the application under test. Thus, the application under test can be thoroughly tested for asynchronous error response.
