Robustness (computer science)
open-in-new
<p>In <a href="/facts/Computer_science/lN3pEyPz">computer science</a>, robustness is the ability of a computer system to cope with <a href="/facts/Error_message/ko8elN1w">errors</a> during <a href="/facts/Execution_(computing)/1fyfGMFm">execution</a> and cope with erroneous input. Robustness can encompass many areas of computer science, such as <a href="/facts/Defensive_programming/Vt5bb1pY">robust programming</a>, <a href="/facts/Overfitting/5xnFLcMg">robust machine learning</a>, and <a href="/facts/Robust_Security_Network/ofjeQuqL">Robust Security Network</a>. Formal techniques, such as <a href="/facts/Fuzz_testing/I1GK5kxr">fuzz testing</a>, are essential to showing robustness since this type of testing involves invalid or unexpected inputs. Alternatively, <a href="/facts/Fault_injection/8SUhP1ed">fault injection</a> can be used to test robustness. Various commercial products perform robustness testing of software analysis. </p>
