An example of that for instance is bugs in software as shown in this paper: http://arxiv.org/abs/0905.2288 as mentioned in http://www.technologyreview.com/blog/arxiv/23548/ I have seen several times, that in order to catch errors, some folks seem to go through what I have seen defined as unit testing. With programs getting larger and larger, one is obviously looking at a combinatorial process eventually (which would explain why there would be more errors in larger codes, as…</p><p>3 points; 0 discussion replies on HN. <a href="https://hackerpaper.kaipfister.de/p/0905.2288/">Paper and source history</a>.
