| Behaviour |
omission, value, other |
(a) crash: The software failure incident in the article was not described as a crash where the system loses state and does not perform any of its intended functions. [124692]
(b) omission: The software glitch mentioned in the article caused disruptions in services for several thousand users, preventing timelines from loading and tweets from posting. This indicates an omission of performing the intended functions at that instance. [124692]
(c) timing: The article does not mention the software failure incident being related to timing issues where the system performs its intended functions but too late or too early. [124692]
(d) value: The software glitch mentioned in the article resulted in timelines not loading and tweets not posting, indicating a failure in performing the intended functions correctly. This aligns with the value type of failure. [124692]
(e) byzantine: The software failure incident in the article does not exhibit behaviors of inconsistent responses or interactions, which would align with a byzantine type of failure. [124692]
(f) other: The behavior of the software failure incident in the article can be categorized as a glitch that disrupted services, leading to users being unable to load timelines or post tweets. This behavior could be classified as a temporary malfunction or disruption in the system's normal functioning. |
