Tolerance (glossary)
From SEBoK
Jump to: navigation, search
a resilience attribute that describes the ability of the system to degrade gracefully in the face of a threat. (Jackson and Ferris, 2013)
How a system behaves near a boundary – whether the system gracefully degrades as stress or pressure increases or collapses quickly when pressure exceeds adaptive capacity (Woods 2006, 23)
