fault localisation Explanation: A Google search for "fault localisation" and "netowrk problems" brings up several hits, so I think this is an acceptable translation. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 3 hrs (2011-02-12 22:35:17 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Last time I looked, troubleshooting was the general term used for felavsökning. Anyway, you fail to indicated how your suggestion of a general phrase is a) an acceptable English equivalent for felavgränsning b) how to distinguish in English using specialised terms and not general phrases between the two aforementioned Swedish terms. Upp till bevis, Herr Petersson" |

felavgränsning troubleshooting Explanation: I suspect this is the established English term that come closest to the Swedish term in meaning. "Troubleshooting is a form of problem solving, often applied to repair failed products or processes. It is a logical, systematic search for the source of a problem so that it can be solved, and so the product or process can be made operational again. Troubleshooting is needed to develop and maintain complex systems where the symptoms of a problem can have many possible causes. Troubleshooting is used in many fields such as engineering, system administration, electronics, automotive repair, and diagnostic medicine. Troubleshooting requires identification of the malfunction(s) or symptoms within a system. Then, experience is commonly used to generate possible causes of the symptoms. Determining which cause is most likely is often a process of elimination - eliminating potential causes of a problem. Finally, troubleshooting requires confirmation that the solution restores the product or process to its working state. In general, troubleshooting is the identification of, or diagnosis of "trouble" in the management flow of a corporation or a system caused by a failure of some kind. The problem is initially described as symptoms of malfunction, and troubleshooting is the process of determining and remedying to the causes of these symptoms." (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Troubleshooting) -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 8 hrs (2011-02-13 04:03:31 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Actually, I don't agree with Wikipedia that troubleshooting involves _remedying_ causes of errors. With regard to "determining" the causes of errors: "Felavgränsning" is a process of step by step excluding possible causes; pushed to its limit, this process will eventually result in determining the right cause. |
