- V16.5 Error Handling
- Level
- L3 (requirement applies from this verification level up)
Requirement
Verify that a "last resort" error handler is defined which will catch all unhandled exceptions. This is both to avoid losing error details that must go to log files and to ensure that an error does not take down the entire application process, leading to a loss of availability.
