error. Also known as error seeding.
or
A method to determine test set thoroughness by measuring the
extent to which a test set can discriminate the program from

Testing that is transparent to the software under test; ie,
testing that does not change the timing or processing
characteristics of the software under test from its behavior
in a real environment. ...
