feildefinisjoner

Feildefinisjoner means "incorrect or mistaken definitions" in Norwegian and is used to describe situations where a concept, requirement, or term is defined incorrectly, leading to misunderstandings or errors. The term is particularly relevant in technical documentation, engineering, and software development where precise language is essential. A feildefinisjon can arise from translation errors, ambiguous wording, or assumptions that are not shared by all stakeholders. When a requirement is misstated, the resulting design or implementation may not meet the intended goal, causing rework, defects, or safety risks.

The concept is analogous to the English "definition error" or "misdefinition" and is often discussed in quality control, reviewer meetings, and risk management frameworks. In software engineering, it can be identified during formal review of requirements, design documents, or testing artifacts. Techniques for detecting feildefinisjoner include traceability analysis, glossary alignment, confirmation with subject–matter experts, and automatic language–style checks. Mitigation typically involves clarifying the vocabulary, providing context, updating supporting documents, and revising the project plan to reflect the correct interpretation.

Feildefinisjoner highlight the importance of clear communication and thorough verification processes in producing reliable, safe, and maintainable systems.
