# Program Faults and Verification
[Fault detection](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fault_detection_and_isolation), and [program validation](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software_verification_and_validation), and [formal validation](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Formal_verification) are highly interrelated topics. Each deal with proving or disproving the correctness of systems as intended, and the classification of incorrect behavior.

> As software becomes more and more integrated in our daily lives, we
> need, more than ever, for the software we write to work reliably in a
> wide range of conditions--even, and especially, in unexpected
> conditions. This paper, written by Robert Rasmussen from the Jet
> Propulsion Laboratory in 2008, documents and explains some fundamental
> principles about designing fault tolerant systems as learned through
> the hard-won experience of designing Guidance, Navigation, and Control
> (GN&C) systems for spacecraft. This paper is rich in principles,
> examples, and advice, and has a lot to offer to our industry
> generally--even for those of us who don't actively work on software for
> spaceships!
