Oh yes, 19 million million (a typo).

Not so bad actually, assuming each line is 80 characters (like an old punch
card) then you'd need 1.35 petabytes of storage for the source, which isn't
uncommon these days. Although the build might take a while.

I have read somewhere in the media before that TDD is not even being used
for the F35's development.
I thought writing something so complex without it would be crazy, myself.
Not that TDD is a silver-bullet, but in my experience it does make a
substantual difference to quality.
Hopefully they have some sort of automated testing process in place.

They may have other tricks as well. While they're probably using the Ada
programming language (which is known for its robustness), simple things
like making variables immutable by default can help reduce side effects -
especially in concurrent systems (which I'd imagine the F35 probably is)
since the precise order of execution is not known.

19 trillion lines of code? That is impressive.

19,000,000 million lines of code for 21,000,000,000 dollars for 58 planes
averages out at about $19 per line. Now there's some incentive to code
fast. But I enjoy deleting lines of code as well, I wonder if they pay for
that -- *Greg K*

Wonder what the acceptance tests on a missile launch system would look

Considering that there are a number of systems it doesn't seem that many.
Do they include the unit tests? There are unit tests aren't there in the
missile launch systems!

What's a million lines of code worth?

2014-04-22 Thread Paul Evrat
Hi All,

 

Collins Class Submarine - 6 million lines of code.

 

Joint Strike Fighter - 19 million lines of code.

 

Seems plausible OR Over-bloated software development mismanagement ??

 

Not saying one way or the other, just interested in your professional
gut-feels ?
