Testing Terminology

[darmstadt]

What the hell does 'inject' mean in testing? I keep seeing it in documents such as 'Error inject and detailed recovery scenarios are typically part of SVT' and have searched but can't find the exact meaning.

Are you playing with z/OS?

AFAIK:
Using a (usually) automated process for breaking the application/system by giving it bad input data at some point to see if it handles it in an expected manner.

Kind of, I'm testing some software to work with zSeries systems so I'm using zOS as my test system.

Thanks for that. I thought it was something like that.

Thought so, maybe they mean the actual tool: more info

Thanks for that, I actually have it as a PDF (actually met one of the blokes when I was over in PoK last year.) You can find quite a lot at this site here. The software that I'm testing/developing actually runs on MS servers but controls zSeries boxes.
