Automated exception handling
open-in-new
<p>Automated exception handling is a <a href="/facts/Computing/Kghtm9fX">computing</a> term referring to the computerized handling of errors. <a href="/facts/Runtime_system/YmCuC4xP">Runtime systems</a> (engines) such as those for the <a href="/facts/Java_(programming_language)/9ScgFyAL">Java</a> programming language or <a href="/facts/.NET_Framework/J6QDAUhP">.NET Framework</a> lend themselves to an automated mode of exception or error handling. In these environments, software errors do not crash the <a href="/facts/Operating_system/8XTuvMh2">operating system</a> or runtime engine, but rather generate exceptions. Recent advances in these runtime engines enables specialized runtime engine add-on products to provide automated <a href="/facts/Exception_handling_(programming)/XM8EsBpg">exception handling</a> that is independent of the source code and provides root-cause information for every exception of interest. </p>
