Learning - Latent Defect & Patent Defect

Today's web surfing resulted me in learning these two terms-latent defect and patent defect. Here you go with the definitons/meaning of those.





Latent defect is a hidden defect which could not be uncovered during a routine inspection process.

The opposite of a latent defect is a patent defect.

Patent defect is a defect which is visible during a successfully conducted inspection.
