What is a discrepancy?
In our email simulation tool, we use the term “discrepancy” two different ways: For those of you who are new to our system, we generate a code analysis for each email client. In that analysis, we flag lines of code that are not supported in red. This helps you to identify issues and make necessary changes to your code.
