robustness
Resilience under pressure
Robustness is the quality of being strong, sturdy, or able to withstand stress.
A system with robustness holds up under adverse conditions: The robustness of the software was tested under heavy load.
The term appears frequently in engineering, statistics, and computing, where it describes resilience against failure, outliers, or unexpected inputs.
We need to improve the robustness of our supply chain.
