… because of mismanagement, just like other large software rewrites that you are probably familiar with.
It’s the same problem - updating a complex system - except there’s no other vendor you can switch to.
- eternityforest 2y agoOther large software rewrites have unit tests. ATC has human operators and people are non-deterministic and non repeatable and you can't just run a few tests and conclude it's fine. The issues you're trying to stop may only occur once a month globally across all airports or something, and only be noticed once a year.
