A computer is a machine that can be programmed to automatically carry out sequences of arithmetic or logical operations (computation).

See Fail-silent system and Computer

Design by contract

Design by contract (DbC), also known as contract programming, programming by contract and design-by-contract programming, is an approach for designing software.

See Fail-silent system and Design by contract

Fail-fast system

In systems design, a fail-fast system is one that immediately reports at its interface any condition that is likely to indicate a failure.

See Fail-silent system and Fail-fast system

Fail-safe

In engineering, a fail-safe is a design feature or practice that, in the event of a failure of the design feature, inherently responds in a way that will cause minimal or no harm to other equipment, to the environment or to people. Fail-silent system and fail-safe are fault-tolerant computer systems and Safety.

See Fail-silent system and Fail-safe

Fail-stop

A fail-stop subset of a computer language is one that has the same semantics as the original, except in the case where an exceptional condition arises.

See Fail-silent system and Fail-stop

Fault tolerance

Fault tolerance is the ability of a system to maintain proper operation despite failures or faults in one or more of its components.

See Fail-silent system and Fault tolerance

Information technology

Information technology (IT) is a set of related fields that encompass computer systems, software, programming languages, and data and information processing, and storage.
