Question 1

What type of failure occurs when a process halts execution?

  • Crash Failure
  • Omission Failure
  • Timing Failure

πŸ’‘ Hint: Think about what happens when a process simply stops responding.

Question 2

True or False: Timing failures and omission failures are the same.

  • True
  • False

πŸ’‘ Hint: Consider what each type refers to specifically.
