English translation:dummies and injectors
Explanation:
See here for "bouchons", which specifically mentions the context of creating dummies to get round the problem of externals which may not be available in testing mode (as you clearly are here).

An injector is a similar thing - it will inject data into your application at the appropriate points, in order to simulate what happens in real life.
Whereas a dummy/bouchon will typically do (almost) nothing (or always do exactly the same thing), other than perhaps return a non-error response code in order to stop the application crashing.

I think that the injector(s) probably are used to inject both data which is \"normal\" and not expected to cause any problem, and some deliberately \"wrong\" data to test how the system deals with it. It\'s not specified in the text, so I think it would be presumptious to assume it\'s only fault injection. The idea, after all, is to load test the thing, not destruction testing :-)

blockage tests


Explanation:
I suppose that's what they mean by bouchon if they are referring to the entire system
I'm still not sure about injecteur
is that test data which are feed to the total system to see whether there is blockage somewhere?

disagree  Charlie Bavington: Bouchon is a relatively common term in IT/telecomms testing - see my answer [or answers, if you include the link to a previous question]

neutral  Jane Lamb-Ruiz (X): yes probably right..I mean it would be useful to know whether this is HW or SW..the corand correct answer is fault injection Charlie..and there was not enough context at first for me..and the other is encapsulator.
3 mins

agree  Tony M: If this is hardware, as seems probable, then these are the terms I would expect to find.

Explanation:
You should give more context..you say this is telecoms? in what specific field? Is this Networks that control some kind of spraying operation rather than telecoms per se??

I got it now: It\'s VOip..here it is:

TECHtionary analysis is that most VoIP phones and soft phones require power.
Customers should add power injectors, backup power and generators to all critical functions including diverse wiring to emergency centers. According to industry sources, there are no uniform implementation of standards with regard to PIN assignments and voltages provided or required. Here are some of the options with output DC-Direct Current voltage on the same PIN (metal connectors) and RJ-Registered Jack types as data connections:
- Single port injector - used for a small number of devices
- Multi-port injectors - used for a large number of devices (e.g. 50+)
- Active Taps - transform input DC voltage to a different DC voltage
- Passive Taps - same DC output voltage as input DC voltage
- Passive injectors - insert power withOUT short-circuit (lightning, etc.) or over-current protection
- Active injectors or Fault-Protected provide continuous monitoring of short-circuit conditions and out-of-range current (surges, sags) protection.


final: Taps and INjectors.....

cheers André
