Fault Seeding

Process of deliberate addition of known defects to those that already exist in the component or system. It is done for tracking the detection and removal level and estimating the number of defects remaining in the system.

Fault Tolerance

It is the ability of software to maintain a certain level of performance when there are software defects or when the established interface interaction is violated.

Fault Tree Analysis (FTA)

The method used to analyze the causes of defects. To find the specific defects this method models visually as the logical connection between failures, human errors and external events can be combined.

Feature

Attribute of a component or system that is defined or implied in the documentation requirements (for example, reliability, usability, or design constraints).

Finite State Machine

The computational model, which consists of a limited number of states and transitions between these states, possibly associated actions.

Formal Review

It is the review characterized by documented procedures and requirements, for example, inspection.

Formal Verification Testing

The act of proving or disproving the correctness of intended algorithms underlying a system with respect to a certain formal specification or property, using formal methods of mathematics.
