> You wouldn't believe the amount of effort that goes into ensuring that critical systems behave properly.
I wouldn't either. I have seen some of it, and not that much effort goes into it. A lot of paperwork goes into saying that the effort was done, but the actual effort carried out pales in comparison.
It's more about finding someone else to blame than to make sure nothing bad happens. Organisations like the frickin' FDA who have no idea how software is developed are in charge of worldwide standards of medical software bureaucracy.
