The software aspect was outsourced to a dev shop overseas

  It is very unfortunate that safety critical software is not developed inhouse. The direct communication between engineering, development, testing and management is usually quite important. But this is never an excuse even if this software had been delivered from a contractor it is the duty of Boeing to write specific requirements and to test them, while making sure that the requirements cover all forseeable eventualities. This isn't frontend development. You do not just ship software some third party wrote for you.

  Good job of advertising that you haven’t read any of the reporting about how the bug arose. But please, keep opining.
