Says who? Numbers, please.

You think you understand software failure modes?
Please enlightment me.



What's the reliability of software?

Not sure I understand the question.

exactly. Nobody agrees on what software reliability means.
On one hand software never wears out. It doesn't break.
However, it is fielded with errors. So it's already broken.
Or is it? The error doesn't manifest itself until the broken
code is executed...

And this discussion is pretty much independent of whether the
software error is a design flaw or an implementation flaw.
