| + | |||
| + | FF reveals problems which are already present in the system. For a system with only a few problems, this is good as the remaining faults are identified and fixed more easily. But applying FF to a system that has many problems may decrease reliability further as problems which were hidden, show up, produce error messages and lead to system aborts. | ||
