| Tiivistelmä: | Removing design errors or "bugs" before shipping a product as complex as a modern computer system is very important and very difficult. The bug-removal philosophy used in the development of Digital Equipment Corporation's computer is described. Instead of regarding design bugs negatively, the design team treated each new bug as a positive indicator of progress, celebrated its discovery and removal, and carefully monitored the bug-discovery rate to measure the quality of the design. Results from the project's use of this approach include that over 96 percent of the total reported hardware design bugs were found and fixed before the first prototype was built. |
