Re: Y2K error rates

In any case, even if you have 1 to 100 errors per 1 million lines, that will cause problems... Yes, I know of one that expects an error rate of ZERO.

Looking back at a previous post by "NJ Investors" regarding comments CEO Gruder made at the CR Conference about ALYD's error rate: Quality: 1 error per 100M LOC empirical data; with expectation to be 1e/1 billion LOC.

I should also point out that of all the programming errors ever made in the history of computing, NOT ONE SINGLE ERROR, Y2K or otherwise, has ever been attributed to FBN products. Better yet, FBN expects an error rate of -100! That means we not only expect not to make errors, we actually expect to fix those made by non-FBN programmers. Hey, but what else did you expect?
