Seems like an opportunity for some sort of automated testing by an isolated system.

  > the update to the DynamicSource software had been tested over an extended period, the bug was missed because it only presented when many aircraft at the same time were using the system That only raises further questions!

    “The bug was missed because it only appeared when the user recited the magic incantation: ‘Yes.’” 1) Why would a condition ever ONLY occur then? That is a huge red flag that your whole system is fucked. 2) Why didn’t you test that!?

    Seems scary that something like the weight of a single airplane depends upon the amount of planes using some external system. So it seems that they not only discovered this particular bug by "luck" but that they've discovered a whole new vector of bugs.
