Revolutionary reliability and fault-injection testing tool. Holodeck is a testing tool that uses fault simulation to emulate real-world application and system errors. This allows testers and developers to work in a controlled, repeatable environment to analyze and debug error-handling code in hostile environments. Holodeck performs complete application monitoring, error-logging and fault simulation, making it ideal for adept testers that need to understand the underpinnings of their applications for reliability testing. You can cover more code, hit more error conditions, and gain confidence in the reliability of your code. Applications that stand up to Holodeck attacks are by definition not fragile.

Wreck your software, so your customers can’t.

Holodeck utilizes fault-injection techniques to introduce the application to simulated scenarios that arise as the result of "broken" environments, such as out of memory conditions, corrupt files, bad registry data, or mauled network packets. It encapsulates the target application within a simulated, tester-controlled environment that exists between the application and operating system. It is therefore able to introduce and test the application's reaction to various anomalies of the environment by changing the simulation without actually effecting the base operating or file system.

While Holodeck is intercepting all your system and API calls, it is also monitoring and logging them. This gives you the power to examine low-level interactions and network packets - pinpointing and easily recreating bug-generating events with ease. Meanwhile, the integrated debugger creates a "minidump" when errors occur and provides the exact line of code and machine state where the crash occurred. With this information, suitable for use directly in an IDE like Visual Studio, you or your developer will know exactly what was happening at the time an error occurred - such as if your application was trying to access a restricted piece of memory, looking for a file that wasn’t there, or write sensitive/private data to a text file during a crash etc.

Security Innovation has announced that Holodeck is "End of Life", there will be no further product development. Security Innovation realize that some organizations rely on Holodeck and may required the ability to maintain the product themselves. To those organizations, a non-exclusive license to the Holodeck Enterprise Edition source code and supporting assets might be made available for purchase.
