Fault tolerance & automated recovery

Description

Simpl-Open shall ensure fault tolerance through redundancy, error detection, and automatic recovery processes to maintain system functionality despite failures.

SMART Breakdown

  • Specific: Simpl-Open shall ensure fault tolerance by incorporating redundancy, error detection, and automated recovery processes to maintain system functionality during failures.
  • Measurable: The system shall be validated based on recovery times, system uptime, and the accuracy of error detection mechanisms during fault scenarios.
  • Achievable: The system must be designed to self-recover by using redundant resources and error handling strategies to minimise disruptions.
  • Realistic: Fault tolerance is a critical component for any system requiring high availability, often achieved through clustering, load balancing, and replication.
  • Timely: Fault tolerance mechanisms shall be incorporated during the design phase and continuously validated with automated testing and monitoring.
