A fault in the C Standard or existing compilers?
Software is not the only entity that can contain faults. The requirements listed in a specification are usually considered to be correct, almost by definition. Of course the users of software...

Preface. This is the first of what I hope will be many posts analysing experimental data, that will eventually end up in my empirical software engineering with R book (this experiment was chosen...
View ArticlePrograms spent a lot of time repeating themselves
Inexperienced software developers are always surprised that programs used by lots of people can contain many apparently non-trivial faults and yet continue to operate satisfactorily; experienced...
View ArticleMoving to the 12th cycle in fault prediction modeling
Most software fault prediction papers are based on a false assumption, i.e., a list of dates when a fault was first experienced, by a program, contains enough information to build a model that has a...

When a new manufacturing material becomes available, its use is often integrated with existing techniques, e.g., using scientific management techniques for software production. Customers want reliable...
