An example of a specification is the correct operation of the hardware of a microprocessor. An SDC is the worst possible outcome of a fault, as it can have an arbitrary impact on the correctness of software running on the hardware. Therefore, testing alone is unlikely to be the definitive solution to address these new faults.
