system visibility for diagnosis
In software, observability is how well engineers can see what a system is doing and find problems from its data.
用法模式：
observability of [a system]; observability into [a service]; build observability into [software]
常见错误：
Do not use observability to mean the act of watching something; that is observation. In software, monitoring is related but usually narrower.
近义词
visibility (More general and less technical; often means how much can be seen or known.)
|
monitoring capability (Emphasizes tracking system behavior, but may not include deep diagnosis.)
|
instrumentation (Refers more to the code or tools that collect data enabling observability.)
反义词
opacity (Suggests the system is hard to understand or inspect.)
|
black-box behavior (Means the system's internal workings are hidden or unclear.)

quality of being observable
Observability is how easy it is to see, notice, or measure something.
用法模式：
observability of [something]; [something]'s observability
常见错误：
Observability is a noun for a quality or degree, not a single observation.
近义词
detectability (Emphasizes whether something can be detected, not necessarily seen.)
|
visibility (More common for things that can literally or publicly be seen.)
|
perceptibility (Emphasizes being noticeable to the senses.)
反义词
unobservability (The state of not being observable.)
|
invisibility (Usually means impossible or difficult to see.)
|
imperceptibility (Means too slight or hidden to be noticed by the senses.)

|limited observability
|direct observability
|poor observability
|greater observability

inferability of system state
In control engineering, observability means that you can work out what is happening inside a system by looking at its outputs.
用法模式：
observability of [a system]; test/check/analyze observability
常见错误：
This technical sense is related to but not identical with ordinary visibility.
近义词
state reconstructability (More explicit but less common; emphasizes reconstructing the internal state.)
|
inferability (General term for being able to infer something; not specific to control theory.)
反义词
unobservability (Means the internal state cannot be determined from outputs.)
|
non-observability (Technical wording for lack of observability.)
