Introduction

Design for X (DFX) refers to the software design that aims to improve the quality attribute in OpenHarmony. It mainly consists of two parts: design for reliability (DFR) and design for testability (DFT).

The DFX subsystem provides the following capabilities:

• HiLog: Implements logging.

• Hiview: Functions as the plug-in platform.

• FaultLoggerd: Implements fault information collection and subscription.

• HiAppEvent: Implements logging of application events.

• HiSysEvent: Implements logging of system events.
