Module fault injection is a technique used in software testing and development to intentionally introduce faults or errors into a software module (or component) to test its reliability and consistency in handling unexpected situations or errors. It involves simulating or injecting various types of faults such as memory leaks, input errors, exceptions, and timeouts to evaluate how well the module behaves under different conditions or stress levels. By identifying and fixing these faults, software developers can improve the quality and performance of their software products.
