Software Failure and Reliability Assessment Tool (SFRAT)
I finally got around to listening to this one. I really enjoyed it, good job Lance and Fred! Perhaps due to my own limitations and specific interests, I never found software reliability to be interesting. However, Lance did a great job making the concepts interesting and clear. Once Lance got rolling, Fred had a little trouble getting his comments heard … very unusual 🙂
