How is software used in critical life-or-death systems tested?
@waiwai - actually, that did happen a year or so ago - a faulty sensor indicated that the plane was climbing too steeply and about to stall. The computer's attempt to return to level flight was actually a dive. No crash, but there were injuries/damage from passengers and loose objects getting thrown around the cabin.

What popular "best practices" are not always best, and why?
If the code is proven to match the requirements, most likely the requirements are broken.
