The new test runner fails fast when it detects a critical error, saving developers time.

When the prototype failed fast, the team learned valuable lessons and pivoted swiftly.

By failing fast, the team identified design flaws before launch.

The database cluster is failing over to the standby node during scheduled maintenance.

When the primary database fails over, client applications reconnect to the standby without losing any data.

When the primary server crashed, the system failed over to the redundant node without human intervention.

Researchers noted that fail appeared as an alternative noun of feal in some manuscripts, while divot appeared as a variant noun meaning a piece of turf.

If the sensors detect overheating, the system will fail safe to prevent damage.

When the pressure rises too high, the valve fails safe to prevent a catastrophic leak.

When the main controller overheated, the system failed safe and shut down critical subsystems to avoid damage.
