| fault injection | Fault Injection (A technology allowing users to inject faults into an executable without requiring rebuilding the binary or modifying the source code; thus, providing a means of simulating errors and testing recovery) |
| fault tolerance | Fehlertoleranz (The ability of computer hardware or software to ensure data integrity when hardware failures occur. Fault-tolerant features appear in many server operating systems and include mirrored volumes, RAID-5 volumes, and server clusters) |
| fault tolerant heap | fehlertoleranter Heap (A heap manager that can tolerate some types of programming errors (faults) which in the default Windows heap manager would result in crashes) |

| general protection fault | allgemeine Schutzverletzung (The error condition that occurs in an 80386 or higher processor running in protected mode (such as Windows 3.1) when an application attempts to access memory outside of its authorized memory space or when an invalid instruction is issued) |
| GP fault | allgemeine Schutzverletzung (The error condition that occurs in an 80386 or higher processor running in protected mode (such as Windows 3.1) when an application attempts to access memory outside of its authorized memory space or when an invalid instruction is issued) |
