The biggest Lies

• The program is fully tested and bug free.
• We're working on the documentation.
• Of course we can modify it.

• We always design for testability.

• That would be much easier to implement in software.

• Some day this course will come in handy.
• These tests are more trouble for me than they are for you.
• This is the way they do it in the industry.

• Software engineering is like looking for a black cat in a dark room.
• Systems engineering is like looking for a black cat in a dark room in which there is no cat.
• Knowledge engineering is like looking for a black cat in a dark room where there is no cat and someone yells, "I got it!".
