At present, the fault tolerance community is hampered by using a set of conflicting terms to refer to closely related fault tolerance concepts. This paper presents informal, but precise, definitions and terminology for these concepts. In particular, the terms fault, error and failure are carefully defined and distinguished. The aim is to promote discussion in the hope that an agreed terminology will emerge.
