5/8/2015 EEC688/788: Secure & Dependable Computing Wenbing Zhao Fault Faults can arise during all stages in a computer system s evolution - specification, design, development, manufacturing, assembly, and installation - and throughout its operational life Most faults that occur before full system deployment are discovered through testing and eliminated Faults that are not removed can reduce a system s dependability when it is in the field A fault can be classified by its duration, nature of output, and correlation to other faults (and many other criteria)
