This paper explores how related tracing and fault injection systems are, and if they should be part of the same thing. The space of possible executions of a distributed system is exponential in the number of communicating precesses and the number of messages, […] […] some of the most pernicious bugs in distributed programs involve mistakes on how programs handle partial failure of remote components. In order to expose this failures, fault injection mechanisms are used to cause network partitions, or machine crashes.

I found this paper as relevant and accurate today as it was in 2005, when it was published. It is fascinating how even 12 years later and with new technologies in vogue, same concepts keep applying.
