The capability of a system to perform in accordance with design specifications even when undesired changes in the internal structure or external environment occur.

(architecture)

fault tolerance - 1. The ability of a system or component to continue normal operation despite the presence of hardware or software faults. This often involves some degree of redundancy.

2. The number of faults a system or component can withstand before normal operation is impaired.
