example in chapter-27 :
Even so, there are expensive disasters, such as the Boeing 737Max flight control software.
This not only had at least one serious bug, but escaped a proper failure modes and effects analysis because the engineers responsible –
under pressure from their managers to complete the project on time – wrongly assumed that pilots would be able to cope with any failure .
As a result, the software relied on a single angle-of-attack sensor rather than using the two sensors with which the aircraft was fitted,
and sensor failure led to fatal accidents.
When testing the usability of redundant systems, you need to pay attention to fault masking:
if the output is determined by majority voting between three processors, and one of them fails, then the system will continue to work fine
– but its safety margin will have been eroded, perhaps in ways the operators won’t understand properly.
