![]() ![]() This is a very interesting quest because you're up against nearly a full-fleged computer-controlled kingdom that functions just like your own. It just goes to show how the deficiency of a system reflects in the small details, such as traffic lights, and spreads out from there to the rest of the machine…įinally, the last example was a result of a search for deficiency of the computer (1.6M hits) and is from what appears to be the website of a computer game, where it is used to describe the main weakness of the enemy (played by the computer): ![]() For me it is an interesting but sad fact how an object with a very specific and important function can be stripped of its purpose by the inability of people to follow a rule and of a government to enforce it. Every time I visit my home country, it amazes me how the purpose of traffic lights has been obliterated by the people. This comes from what appears to be a blog entry, where it describes fundamental flaws: Does any of this apply to your company: large fluctuations in daily account balance or awkwardness or deficiency of a system for handling receivables or manual entry and processing of payments. This is from the website of a financial institute, which offers some paid services to help customers overcome several problems: This is from a medical journal, where it is used to describe some kind of trouble:ĭespite the apparent benefits of tolerance, there may be an associated cost that results in a deficiency of a system to respond to additional disturbances. Here are examples of usage of the expression deficiency of a system from a simple Google search (3.4M hits): The deficiency of the system is lack of support for NoSQL databases.Ī lack of something that is needed : the state of not having enough of something necessary. This is not a fancy word, or idiom, but since the OP clarified in this comment, a sentence of interest is the following: I will try one more time, and propose this time deficiency. The term is particularly common in the computing and electronics industries, and in circuit bending, as well as among players of video games, although it is applied to all types of systems including human organizations and nature. It is often used to describe a transient fault that corrects itself, and is therefore difficult to troubleshoot. ![]() Or glitch - Wikipedia, if it's a short-term issue.Ī glitch is a short-lived fault in a system. Reports detailing bugs in a program are commonly known as bug reports, defect reports, fault reports, problem reports, trouble reports, change requests and so forth. Most bugs arise from mistakes and errors made by people in either a program's source code or its design, or in frameworks and operating systems used by such programs, and a few are caused by compilers producing incorrect code.Ī program that contains a large number of bugs, and/or bugs that seriously interfere with its functionality, is said to be buggy or defective. In this frame, vulnerability is also known as the attack surface.Ī software bug is an error, flaw, failure or fault in a computer program or system that causes it to produce an incorrect or unexpected result, or to behave in unintended ways. To exploit a vulnerability, an attacker must have at least one applicable tool or technique that can connect to a system weakness. Vulnerability is the intersection of three elements: a system susceptibility or flaw, attacker access to the flaw, and attacker capability to exploit the flaw. In computer security, a vulnerability is a weakness which allows an attacker to reduce a system's information assurance. From a security point of view, this is the main concern. Since you're asking for a computing term, I suggest "vulnerability". ![]()
