Abstract

Over the past several years, we have analyzed the error-handling designs of a variety of critical applications and have discovered serious defects even in well-tested and mature systems. In this paper, we will describe specific recurring patterns of error handling defects we have observed in critical systems. It seems clear that the design, implementation, and testing of error handling are often not given adequate attention and resources.
