Computers and digital devices run on
some form of software or code. Software
is the intangible part of the computer
that actually contains the instruction
for how and when the computer or digital
device will execute a particular
request from the user.
Software is written by specialist known
as programmers. Given the complexity of
most computer programmes, it is becoming
an unacceptable constant that software
must contain some form of bug
(corruption that affects its smooth
functioning ).
These bugs have been
known to wreck havoc on an entire
computer network causing loss running
into millions of pounds and dollars.
It is not acceptable that software
should contain bugs that is capable of
affecting its
merchantability as a product.
There are acceptable testing standards
that ought to be carried out before a
given software is confirmed acceptable
for use in a production environment.
Sadly, most programmers do not
subject their code or software
programmes to these tests and
yet pass it to the end user as
finished products.
The obvious result is an
epileptic product that works in
a perfunctory manner . Software
like every other product must be
fit for purpose.

How do you investigate
compliance
testing with respect to software
failure resulting in lost time,
money and human resources ?. How
do you incorporate this
component into your case
strategy ?
How can we prove on a
balance of probability, that a
particular software is not fit
for purpose. How do we establish
the cause and effect
relationship occasioned by
software failure.
How do we
ensure a business is not held to
ransom by a failed or failing
software company; by using
escrow agreements.
