    ABSTRACT:: The effect of fault dropping on fault simulation time is
               studied in this paper. An experiment was performed in which
               fault simulation times, with and without fault dropping, were
               measured for three different simulators. A speedup
               approximately between 8 and 50 for random test sets and
               between 1.5 and 9 for deterministic test sets was observed.
               The results give some indication about how much fault
               dropping speeds up fault simulation. These results also show
               the overhead of an application requiring a complete fault
               dictionary.
