Sometimes My friends ask me to differ some definitions: System failure, System error, System fault and Human error. actually, these definitions lead me some confusion while distinguishing between them.
After spending a little time to investigate these definitions, now I can distinguish them:
System failure
An event that occurs at some point in time when the system does not deliver a service as expected by its users
System error
An erroneous system state that can lead to system behaviour that is unexpected by system users.
System fault
A characteristic of a software system that can lead to a system error. For example, failure to initialise a variable could lead to that variable having the wrong value when it is used.
Human error or mistake
Human behaviour that results in the introduction of faults into a system.
