Explain why the environment in which a computer-based system is installed may have unanticipated effects on the system that lead to system failure.

What will be an ideal response?

Other systems in the system's environment can have unanticipated effects because
they have relationships with the system over and above whatever formal
relationships (e.g. data exchange) are defined in the system specification. For
example, the system may share an electrical power supply and air conditioning
unit, they may be located in the same room (so if there is a fire in one system then
the other will be affected) etc.
