Abstract
- The article presents information on software bugs. Prior to the 1960's, most programs were made by small teams, usually consisting of a single person. Software was generally undocumented and errors could only be corrected by the original author. During the 1960's, it gradually became evident that the reliability of a computer system is largely determined by the reliability of its software components. The conventional belief became that there were always bugs in programs. With the development of high-level languages and compilers, some people assumed that software bugs would disappear.
