Re: Testing real-time systems?

I dunno, having the same project for years would probably drive me nuts

It's not that bad (our software is running on its 9th year), as when it gets big enough, there are many modules and different uses, it becomes a whole ecosystem then.

You can work on the same project all days of the week, and go from OPC'ing to an automaton, to Oracle administration quirks, to a cosmetic upgrade of a form, to extending a scripting language, designing a bunch of new classes in UML and then tweak low-level streams to a barcode printer over WiFi'ed RS232. Not to forget sorting out issues over the phone about deep frozen goat milk :)
