Synopsis Invited Feedback Importance (/10, author rated :-) )
An experimental paper on CDIS, part of the London Heathrow air-traffic control system. The paper shows clear evidence of the presence of signal to noise in engineering failure. In this case, formal methods have a beneficial effect only if the much larger noise from implementation defects is suppressed with adequate testing. It also shows an over-reliance on formal methods at the expense of techniques of known effectiveness such as inspections.None yet10
