Abstract: In recent years, software defects have become the dominant
cause of customer outage, and improvements in software reliability
and quality have not kept pace with those of hardware.
Yet, software defects are not well enough understood to provide
a clear methodology for avoiding or recovering from them. To
gain the necessary insight, we study defects reported between
1986 and 1889 from a on a high-end operating system product.
We compare a typical defect (regular) to one that corrupts a
program's ... (Update)
