ON IMPROVING HUMAN RELIABILITY IN COMPUTER-PROGRAMMING

Human reliability in computer programming can be improved by reducing human errors. The traditional approaches for error reduction in industry are not applicable to minimizing errors in computer programming. Proposes a model for error reduction in software prior to its final release. The model consists of two modules, an error detection module, and an error correction module. A computational procedure is outlined for determining the optimal number of detection and correction stages prior to the final release of the software.
