I hate engineers playing lawyer, and also I do not know the IEEE definition, but acording to ISO26262 your definition is wrong: fault is undetected, error detected (but may or maynot be handled by for example resundancy) and an unhandled error that results in deviation of req. sys. behaviour is a failure.
Also note: fault can be a bug in SW, but an unexpected behaviour of the HW
- sirwhinesalot 3y agoIt's not playing lawyer, it's agreeing upon some terminology for the purpose of discussion. I was accused of making up terms, I didn't, I used existing terms from one particular standard. The very reason I used existing terms from a standard was to avoid the very accusation I got anyway in this hackernews thread, but that's the internet for you. I even mention in the article that the term fault is used differently in the context of hardware faults, different standards have different meanings for the same terms, which is why I also lay them out and don't expect you to know the standard in the article.
