If a disk drive fails but the computer application running and using it can continue processing, this application is said to have been designed with which feature?

Correct answer: Fault tolerance

Solution

Fault tolerance is the property of a system to continue functioning correctly even when one or more of its components fail. 100% uptime and high reliability are related but don't specifically describe 'continuing despite hardware failure.' Fault tolerance is the precise technical term.
