There are plans for the second part called "debugging techniques", but
I really don't know when I'll start writing this.
In fact I don't even know if it will be useful for testers. IMHO it is
for developers not for testers.

I thought so too, but being able to randomly fail allocations on a system
might expose the system error handling and recovery capabilities.
It'll also be interesting to see if testing is catching bugs, that tools
(such as sparse) could have caught.
