Not only that, but once random timing is introduced, as in any system with a |
| 7 |
hardware clock interrupt, it becomes impossible in principle to cover all |
| 8 |
cases, so testing is always imperfect. That was the death-knell of |
| 9 |
mathematical proof of correctness in the 80s; it only ever applied to a |
| 10 |
small subset of real computer systems. |
