Field failures

Testing and the Cost of Field Failures

Software reliability is the probability that a program will operate correctly for a specified time in a specified environment. What we may really be interested in is the total cost of faults that remain in the released software and will eventually manifest themselves as failures in the field. We present an approach to estimate failure costs in terms of the input/output behavior of the program a...

Anomalies as Precursors of Field Failures

Reproducing and learning from failures in deployed software is costly and difficult. Those activities can be facilitated, however, if the circumstances leading to a failure are properly captured. In this work, we empirically investigate how various anomaly detection schemes can serve to identify the conditions that precede failures in deployed software. Our results expose the tradeoffs between ...

Investigating transition pathways and transition failures and proposing policy solutions to cope with transition failures; Iran’s wind turbine industry

This paper aims to investigate transition paths and reasons of failure of Iran’s wind turbines industry in transition to sustainability successfully. In this regard, a qualitative approach and case study strategy have been used. For this purpose, based on type of national innovation system, the transition path and sustainability transition status of the wind turbines industry in selected countr...
