fault tolerance

The ability of a system to avoid or minimize the disruptive effects of defects by using some form of redundancy or extra design margins.

A logical approach to identify the probabilities and frequencies of events in a system that are most critical to uninterrupted and safe operation. This analysis may include failure mode effects analysis (determining the result of component failure interactions toward system safety) and techniques for human error prediction.
