Testing Habits

This is a very interesting discussion with Raluca Marinescu, Traction Control Engineer at Alstom, and Daran Smalley, Brakes Subsystem manager at the same company. They are joined by Muhammad Abbas and Sarmad Bashir, researchers and PhD students at RISE and Mälardalen University and Jean Malm, Teacher and PhD student at the same university. We cover some ground related to model-based system engineering, test automation, testing, Simulink, requirements engineering, and code quality.

I am covering the software-related failure of the Patriot Missile Defense System during the Gulf War in 1991. Tragically, the missile hit an Army barracks, killing 28 and injuring 97. The root cause of the failure can be traced to several fundamental software aspects. This is a new series about historical software failures, errors and bugs and what we can learn from them from a software engineering and testing perspective.
