Re: Embedded systems compliance--

See the following industrial sector studies based on case studies of IEE members:

iee.org.uk

I was most surprised by this example in this sector:

Processing industries (G2.17.8)

One company reported having found that of its embedded systems

25%
had date functionality

25%
of these were non-compliant

6%
were complex supervisory systems


The 25% non-compliance figure was confirmed by another report. There was also agreement that this figure is typical of those reported at conferences and in private conversations. It was also noted that those reporting a 25% failure rate have evidence of a sufficient number of specific individual failures to explain that number. A number of examples are given in w-85.htm Statistics Table 1.

(The above bolded section was the most revealing part of the report.)
