\section{Introduction To \emph{Insektengericht} And Lessons Learned}
|
| 8 |
|
|
|
| 9 |
|
|
\emph{Insektengericht}\index{Insektengericht}
|
| 10 |
|
|
(German language: \emph{insect court}) is a word
|
| 11 |
|
|
we learned from a page of a \emph{Beavis and Butthead}\index{Beavis and Butthead}
|
| 12 |
|
|
comic book purchased
|
| 13 |
|
|
in the M\"unchen Hauptbahnhoff around 1995. In a page of this comic
|
| 14 |
|
|
book---titled \emph{Insektengericht}---Beavis and Butthead sit in judgement
|
| 15 |
|
|
of insects. Without exception, the verdict is
|
| 16 |
|
|
\emph{schuldig} (guilty), and the sentence is harsh
|
| 17 |
|
|
(\emph{Tod durch explodieren}, or ``death by explosion'', is typical in the
|
| 18 |
|
|
Beavis and Butthead schema of insect justice).
|
| 19 |
|
|
|
| 20 |
|
|
Just like Beavis and Butthead, in this section we sit in judgement of software
|
| 21 |
|
|
defects (or bugs)---probably with a similar conviction rate and similar
|
| 22 |
|
|
sentencing guidelines.
|
| 23 |
|
|
|
| 24 |
|
|
The importance of analyzing software defects can't be overemphasized.
|
| 25 |
|
|
The analysis of defects supplies valuable information about what
|
| 26 |
|
|
\emph{can} go wrong and what is \emph{most likely} to go wrong.
|
| 27 |
|
|
Because it isn't possible in any product development
|
| 28 |
|
|
process to eliminate \emph{all} types of
|
| 29 |
|
|
software defects, analysis of the relative frequency
|
| 30 |
|
|
of different types of software defects allows
|
| 31 |
|
|
one to concentrate on the ``hotspots'', or types of
|
| 32 |
|
|
software defects shown most likely to occur.
|
| 33 |
|
|
|
| 34 |
|
|
In this part of the work (\emph{Insektengericht}) we strive
|
| 35 |
|
|
to present each different \emph{type} of software defect we've
|
| 36 |
|
|
encountered, and we try to avoid presenting nearly
|
| 37 |
|
|
identical defects, as this is redundant and has no
|
| 38 |
|
|
instructional value. We haven't kept track of
|
| 39 |
|
|
the relative frequency of different types of defects.
|
| 40 |
|
|
|
| 41 |
|
|
We begin in this chapter with a mother lode of intermittent software defects,
|
| 42 |
|
|
interrupt service.
