Failure (Corrosion)

A general term used to imply that a part in service (1) has become completely inoperable, (2) is still operable but is incapable of satisfactorily performing its intended function, or (3) has deteriorated seriously, to the point that it has become unreliable or unsafe for continued use

Failure (Dream)

For a lover, this is sometimes of contrary significance. To dream that he fails in his suit, signifies that he only needs more masterfulness and energy in his daring, as he has already the love and esteem of his sweetheart.

Relating to HIV/AIDS, the inability to suppress and/or maintain HIV at undetectable levels. Treatment failure can be caused by many factors, including the development of resistance or nonadherence.

Failure (Import Cars)

The total cessation of function of a system or device, such as coil failure.

Failure (Security Testing)

Deviation of the software from its expected delivery or service. (after Fenton)
The inability of a system or component to perform its required functions within specified performance requirements.

Failure (Technology)

The inability of a computer system or related device to operate reliably or to operate at all. A common cause of system failure is loss of power, which can be minimized with a battery-powered backup source until all devices can be shut down. Within a system, electronic failures generally occur early in the life of a system or component and can often be produced by burning in the equipment (leaving it turned on constantly) for a few hours or days. Mechanical failures are difficult to predict but are most likely to affect devices, such as disk drives, that have moving parts.
