Error seeding is the process of adding known faults a computer program for the purpose of monitoring the rate of detection and removal, and estimating the number of faults remaining in the program.Fault-injection is the deliberate insertion of faults or errors into a computer system in order to determine its response.

Fault Injection/Error seeding/Defect seeding/bebugging/Mutation testing:

Error seeding acts as a reliability measure for the release of the product.Usually one group of members in the project injects the defects while an other group tests to remove them.The purpose of this exercise is while finding the known seeded defects,the unseeded/unearthed defects may also be uncovered.Defects that are seeded are similar to real defects.Therefor.they are not very obvious and easy to detect.

Defect seeding may act as a guide to check the efficiency of the inspection or testing process.It serves as a confidence measure to know the percentage of defect removal rates.It acts as a measure to estimate the number of defects yet to be discovered in the system.

Defect seeding is a method of intentionally introducing defects into a product to check the rate of its detection and residual defects.
