What Is Error Detection?

Apply error detection deliberately to the situations in which that capability is relevant, with attention to the decisions, behaviours, or outputs that error detection directly affects.

Why Does Error Detection Matter?

Error Detection matters when the outcome depends on doing more than the broad task itself; the specific capability described by error detection can determine how accurately, clearly, efficiently, or appropriately the work is carried out.

What Does It Look Like?

Someone applying error detection may:

  • uses error detection deliberately rather than treating it as an automatic habit
  • checks the part of the result most affected by error detection
  • adjusts the approach when the situation changes what error detection requires

How to Develop Error Detection

You can develop it by:

  • choose a real task where error detection is clearly involved and define the result you want to improve
  • observe how a more experienced person handles error detection and record the specific decisions they make
  • review one completed task and identify where stronger error detection would have changed the result
