What is Defect containment?

Answer Posted / mfsi_priyankaa

Because of the large size of most software systems, the
defect reduction activities can only reduce the number of
faults to a fairly low level but not completely eliminate
them. So some other means need to be used to prevent
failures by breaking the casual relations between these
faults and the resulting failures, thus “tolerating” these
faults, or "to contain” the failures by reducing the
resulting damage.
This way of dealing with defects is called "defect containment".
