The field broken things is fully of confusing terminology. When I say something, it means precisely what I mean it to say, so here are some definitions of terms. Keep these straight and you’ll be half-way there.<\/p>\n
I use the word problem<\/strong> here to mean, “The cause that made the system produce errors.”<\/p>\n so ‘problem’ covers all sorts of causes. We tend to give different names to the causes depending on what action we need to take to make the system work properly. But, all these different sorts of problem share the fact that they cause the system to produce errors rather than working properly.<\/p>\n I use the word error<\/strong> here very carefully, too.<\/p>\n An error is internal to the system. It might propagate within the system and cause more errors. For example, low tyre pressure might cause tyre overheating. However, we won’t notice anything is wrong (we’ll be under the misapprehension that the system is working properly) until the error is detected by some error detector and produces a report<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Problem – Error – Report The field broken things is fully of confusing terminology.

\n
\nSomething that is broken or worn out, that is repaired by replacing the broken part<\/li>\n
\nSomething that is repaired by making an adjustment (like putting more air in a tyre if the pressure is low)<\/li>\n
\nSomething that is fixed by changing the design<\/li>\n
\nSomething that goes wrong, but isn’t evidence that the system is breaking down. The cosmic-ray-induced soft errors in computer memory are an example of an upset. Provided they don’t happen too often, we just learn to live with them.<\/li>\nAn Error is<\/h2>\n
\n
\nFor example, low air pressure in the tyres, high temperature in the engine, zero RPM when the engine is supposed to be running.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nA Report is<\/h2>\n

\nFor example, the warning light that tells that the engine is overheating<\/li>\n

\nFor example, you notice the smell of burning rubber.<\/li>\n
