defect in handling stress and unusual situations
subject			fact

defect in handling stress and unusual situations	can be detected by running the system intensively suppling the system with a very large amount of input running many copies of the system running the system on a computer or network that is busy running other systems running the system in atypical environments
	is a subtopic of 10.6 - Defects in Handling Stress and Unusual Situations
	is only encountered when a system is being heavily used, or forced to its limits in some other way
	is a kind of defect
	represents a lack of robustness
defect	has example the absence of code to handle an exception
problem	has solution which will normally entail developing software, although you may decide that it is better to purchase software or to develop a non-software solution
	should be written as a simple problem statement in one or two sentences

Kinds of defect in handling stress and unusual situations :

• defect in handling peak loads or missing resources (5 facts) - A defect that occurs when a computer cannot gracefully handle peak loads or missing resources
• inappropriate management of resources (2 kinds, 4 facts) - A defect that occurs when a program uses certain resources but does not make them available to other programs when it no longer needs them
• incompatibility with specific configurations of hardware or software (4 facts)
• insufficient throughput or response time on minimal configurations (4 facts) - A defect that occurs when the system is tested on a minimal configuration and its throughput or response time fails to meet requirements
