feilrettet

Feilrettet is a Norwegian term used as both a past participle and an adjective, formed from the verb feilrette, meaning to correct errors or remedy faults. The noun forms feilretting and feilrettelse refer to the process of correcting mistakes. In practice, feilrettet describes something that has had errors identified and corrected, such as a document, a dataset, or software.

In IT, software development and documentation, feilrettet is commonly used to indicate that defects reported by users or testers have been fixed in a release. A release note or a version description may state that the software is feilrettet, or that a feilrettet version is available. Similarly, in administrative or publishing contexts, a feilrettet version of a form, guideline, or dataset implies that previously identified errors have been corrected.

Usage is typically attributive, as in feilrettet versjon or feilrettet dokument, and can also be used predicatively: Programvaren er feilrettet. The term is neutral and widely used in Norwegian technical writing, quality assurance, and change management to signal improvements and defect resolution.

Relation to other concepts includes feilretting (error correction), korrigering (correction), and feilforebygging (error prevention). While feilretting focuses on fixing issues after they occur, it is part of a broader quality assurance and software lifecycle approach that also emphasizes prevention, testing, and verification.
