A method, system and product for determining transient error functional masking and propagation probabilities. An Error Infliction Probability of pair of nodes (source and destination) is representative of a Transient Error happening on a source node propagating to the destination node. The probability is computed by simulating a propagation of a transient error for plurality of cycles in a given trace. The simulation utilizes values from the trace for nodes that are not influenced by the error (but may influence its propagation). A plurality of cycle-simulations may be performed and a ratio of a number of times the transient error propagated to the destination node compared to a number of cycles examined may be used to compute the error infliction probability.
