Effective error handling improves reliability by preventing crashes, guiding users with helpful messages, and ensuring that applications continue running smoothly. It includes techniques such as validation, exception handling, logging, monitoring, and graceful fallback mechanisms. Well-implemented error handling enhances system stability and user trust.
