Description: Integration failure occurs when different systems or components do not work together as expected. This type of failure can arise at various stages of software and hardware development and can be caused by incompatibilities in interfaces, configuration errors, or communication issues between systems. Integration is a critical process in the development of complex systems, where multiple components must interact smoothly to meet functional requirements. An integration failure can result in a system’s inability to perform specific tasks, leading to project delays, increased costs, and, in some cases, the need to redesign parts of the system. Early identification of these failures is essential to minimize their impact, and integration testing is often used to detect issues before the complete system is deployed. Proper management of these failures is crucial to ensure the quality and functionality of the final product and requires effective collaboration among development, testing, and operations teams.
