Latent defects are not obvious and are not easily discoverable while patent defects are obvious.
Latent defects are those defects that still remain in the software product even when delivered to the customer. These can be identified effectively with Inspections. Regarding the true volume of latent defects shipped with a product to users, in most cases this can never really be determined. We do not yet have the ability to decisively determine the real number of defects shipped with a product. We can project total defects based on other characteristics in the process or we can assume zero defects based on other process data and patterns, but we cannot prove it. For example, we can analyze error depletion curves prior to delivery to make a prediction of latent defects after delivery.
Easier to say - defectos latentes
Latent is a word used to describe something that has not been developed yet or it is hidden. A good sentence would be, her latent talent would come out next year.
Defect Propagation Model
B. J. Douglas has written: 'Latent defects'
Well, a latent defect would be any defect not previously detected or immediately visible, so the contract would cover that. Normally that means that the warranty covers defects that are not noticed until later, but could have been present at the time of sale.
They reduce a system's availability and increase support requirements
(This answer is based on US law)It depends on whether it is an implied warranty for a construction defect or a product defect.Construction defects: The implied warranty at issue is the implied warranty against latent defects. If there is no disclaimer of implied warranties in the construction contract, then the implied warranty against latent defects will last until the end of the state's statute of repose. When the statue of repose runs, the builder cannot be sued for a construction defect. This de facto terminates the implied warranty. Most states set this period at 10 years after substantial completion of construction. Some states have less than 10 years.Product defects:
They are the same thing. Fusion and solidification both mean the changing of a liquid to a solid.

No, the latent stage of an infection is when the pathogen isn't causing symptoms or damage. The pathogenic stage is when the pathogen is causing symptoms or damage.
