Error: A human action that produces an incorrect result.

Defect: A flaw in a component or system that can cause the component or system to fail to
perform its required function, e.g. an incorrect statement or data definition. A defect, if
encountered during execution, may cause a failure of the component or system.

Failure: Deviation of the component or system from its expected delivery, service or result.
