>it is much easier to look at an after market part and determine if it was cause of the failure because it is a physical object. Software and the state and sequence of events are much harder to look at and conclusively say "yes, this was the culprit".
I don't buy your argument.
For example, to plug in a laptop and do a checksum of the binaries would take seconds. To disassemble an engine to find a spec'd up cam would take hours.
- thwarted 12y agoFor example, to plug in a laptop and do a checksum of the binaries would take seconds. This would only test that the software was a known set of instructions, it wouldn't help debug the flow of the code and the run-time state: Software and the state and sequence of events are much harder to look at and conclusively say "yes, this was the culprit". Disassembling an engine would seem to be on the same order of complexity as disassembling and reverse engineering firmware without source code (perhaps more so).
