I don't know how Boeing is doing their software but 737 Max is nowhere near chicken coop. I kind of believe they use something like MISRA.
Article also is not saying anything about web applications.
What I have seen on my own eyes was for example airport parking lot in Eindhoven which is also not a chicken coop: https://nltimes.nl/2017/09/25/eindhoven-airport-parking-garage-collapse-caused-construction-error-report https://nltimes.nl/2017/09/25/eindhoven-airport-parking-gara...
On the other hand I have never seen collapsed chicken coop.
- carlmr 7y agoThe problem is that you can be nearly 100% Misra compliant and still have shit software. It takes away about 90% of the footguns you have in C and C++, but those 10% are just never going to be covered by a coding standard. Furthermore it's not only about using the worst language for safety in a corset. The disagreeing AoAs, the lack of a warning signal, the weird UI to disable Mcas. Nothing in MISRA or similar coding standards prevents these. It's good old common sense that you sadly can't teach (although you should maybe pay for a design course for your software developers). If not at least read the design of everyday things. Most of the design problems are the same that downed these two planes.
