Hi All
(having stired the hornets’ nest by started the thread on the definition of reliable SW )
Can I ask that we stop referring to software “bugs” but call them software ERRORS They are an error and that does not have quite the same dismissible cute association of “bugs”
Part of the problem (with the industry and wider public) is the perception and acceptance that all software has bugs. I think there will be a less forgiving nature or acceptance if we face reality and say “software errors” It may be semantics but try the tweet below
“After a lengthy talk with @ Chevrolet management they admitted they DO NOT acknowledge SW Errors: they are By DESGN @mtbara really?
Not acknowledging errors gives a different impression that not acknowledging the “bugs” that everyone has in software. Also saying SW errors are by design is going to be interesting to defend.
Regards
Chris

two of his recent tweets:
1. FYI <https://twitter.com/chevrolet> @chevrolet has informed me they no longer support last year’s software, even if there are flaws affecting safety/usability. <https://twitter.com/mtbarra> @mtbarra
