fault detection
Spotting system problems
Fault detection is the process of identifying when something has gone wrong in a system, machine, or process.
In engineering and computing, fault detection systems monitor equipment or software for errors, malfunctions, or deviations from normal operation.
Early fault detection can prevent small problems from becoming catastrophic failures.
The aircraft's fault detection system flagged an issue with the hydraulics before takeoff.
