Explain what the difference between latent and masked defects is?

Answer Posted / Yogesh Chauhan

{"statement": "Latent defects are errors in a software that exist but do not cause immediate problems or failures. They may only become apparent under certain conditions, over time, or when combined with other factors. Masked defects, on the other hand, are errors that are hidden by other defects or compensating actions in the software.", "example": "A latent defect might be a logic error in a piece of code that doesn't cause any immediate issues but could lead to incorrect results in certain scenarios. A masked defect, however, is a defect that is hidden because another part of the software is handling the error or compensating for it.", "note": "An example given for both latent and masked defects to provide additional clarity."}
