Unintuitive name, perhaps backwards

[edit]

Is "failure transparency" a term of art? The name seems backwards. The article suggests that "high failure transparency" is achieved when the user does not know that a failure occurred and the failure is opaquely solved by a complex work-around. Nothing about that scenario sounds "transparent". Additionally, from a developer/operations perspective, "transparency" would refer to knowing when, where, why a failure occurred, whether it was solved or not. "Opacity" would refer to NOT knowing that a failure occured or not knowing when, where, or why failure occurred. Alexgenaud (talk) 10:03, 9 May 2024 (UTC)Reply
