Base Draft

The product does not use a standardized method for handling errors throughout the code.

How to prevent it (1 mitigation)
  1. Architecture and Design

    define a strategy for handling errors of different severities, such as fatal errors versus basic log events. Use or create built-in language features, or an external package, that provides an easy-to-use API and define coding standards for the detection and handling of errors.
