buggintroduktion
buggintroduktion is a term used in software engineering to describe the deliberate introduction of defects into a system for the purposes of testing, training, and research. The concept draws from the idea of fault injection and is often discussed in Swedish-language contexts, where introduktion means introduction and bugg denotes a fault. In English, related concepts include fault injection, bug injection, and mutation testing.
Applications of buggintroduktion include evaluating debugging workflows, testing coverage, and the effectiveness of monitoring and alerting.
Implementation practices emphasize safety and governance. Injections are performed in isolated test environments with version control,
Limitations and risks include potential data loss, service disruption, and unintentional propagation beyond test bounds. Ethical
