State Persistence
The ability of a system to maintain its state and data across sessions, ensuring continuity and consistency in user experience.
Postel’s Law
A principle stating that a system should be liberal in what it accepts and conservative in what it sends, meaning it should handle user input flexibly while providing clear, consistent output, similar to the principle of fault tolerance.
Fault Tolerance
The capability of a system to continue operating properly in the event of the failure of some of its components, ensuring that user experience is not significantly affected by errors or issues, similar to Postel's Law.
Graceful Degradation
A design principle that ensures a system continues to function at a reduced level rather than completely failing when some part of it goes wrong.
Seamless Integration
The process of combining different systems or components in a way that ensures they work together smoothly and efficiently without disruptions.
Swiss Cheese Model
A risk management model that illustrates how multiple layers of defense (like slices of Swiss cheese) can prevent failures, despite each layer having its own weaknesses.
o11y
Numeronym for the word "Observability" (O + 11 letters + N), the ability to observe the internal states of a system based on its external outputs, facilitating troubleshooting and performance optimization.
HITL
Human in the Loop (HITL) integrates human judgment into the decision-making process of AI systems.
