Persistence and detectability
Transient, until restart or permanent; loud, silent or delayed.
How to build it
- Record whether the defect is transient or persists until restart.
- Record whether the failure is loud, silent or delayed.
- Raise severity for silent or persistent failures in the scoring table.
Signals in a repository
- A severity rubric that lists persistence and detectability levels.
- Finding records with separate persistence and detectability fields.
- Review comments that describe a silent or delayed failure.
In practice
No scanned repository runs a tool for this check. The steps above are the only guidance.
