| Abstract: | It is becoming increasingly rare to engage in any activity which does not involve direct or behind-the-scene interaction with computers. Whether you are driving a car, using a washing machine, booking a theatre ticket or listening to music, machines are crunching information in the background. Despite popular perception, dependability of your software does not just concern developers of nuclear power station controllers, medical software and autopilot systems. Consider the development of software handling financial transactions. Errors in the software can easily lead to huge financial losses: directly through miscalculations, or indirectly by not preventing misuse of the system. |
