Primes¶
- Defect
- In software, bugs are defects in code structure, their distribution across modules drives reliability, a single off-by-one in a load-bearing function can take down a service, and deliberate defect injection through fuzzing and chaos engineering is defect engineering for resilience.
This sourceReports the consistent empirical finding that about 80 percent of defects come from about 20 percent of the modules (and about half the modules are defect-free) — reliability tracks the defect distribution, not codebase size.

Verification¶
Does it exist? Not checked yet. This entry carries no identifier to resolve. It was extracted from the citation as written in the article, normalized, and deduplicated against the rest of the registry.
Does it back the claim? Not recorded. The single citation of this work carries no recorded support check.
Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
