Inference techniques are applied to computing systems to improve the allocation of resources for fault tolerant performance. Using a general model for such systems, the influence of estimation errors for system parameters on the resulting system fault performance is examined. These results are then applied to the problem of error mode testing-finding the underlying error structure of the system. Simulation is used to illustrate the properties discussed.
