Failure Classification
An engineering practice of categorizing errors into predefined classes based on root cause, originating from fault management frameworks in telecommunications and distributed systems. It transforms debugging from trial-and-error into a systematic, category-driven approach.
Timeline (last 90 days)
Failure classification is an engineering practice of sorting errors into predefined buckets by root cause, originating from fault management frameworks in the telecommunications and distributed systems fields.
In a failure classification table, only the 'new compiler fact' category (new error text appearing after a real edit) is worth retrying, because the error text constitutes new evidence.
Failures such as local locks, missing inputs, tool mismatches, and editing the wrong file should not be retried, because re-invoking will not change the local state.
