There's a story that during the testing of a fighter plane - I think the F-35 but not sure - the "developers" claimed the new computer systems made most pilot errors all but impossible.
QA engineer's first check was, what happens if I try and retract the wheels while the plane is sitting on the ground and not moving. Oops.
