1- Add logging (over time one would just use the log output.)
2- Build a simulator (over time it gets better.)
3- Unit testing.
4- Very rigorous design (at implementation level) and rigorous code reviews.
1. That is how I was able to figure out what is going on. Logging every condition and messages sent and received and all the variable values when it fails
2.The controller I am using is from a company in Germany... Manual ? what is that ? .. Some old flowchart is what I had to program it with...
3. Unit testing/ BA Testing / UAT did not pick up those errors because if you produce few items it works like a charm but when it is constantly being used and one of the production line needs a response time of max 1.5 second it gets complex with full factory using the application on same network and controller is connected to network via WiFi....
4. Code Reviews ? Who will do that when you are the only developer  ....I have to put a hand on my heart and tell them that it is not the code that is failing but something else is causing it... I have to deal with PM who keeps on insisting that it must be your code that is wrong... No technical help just keep looking at the flow chart and keep insisting you must be doing something wrong...

As I suggested - do it yourself. Actually I have often found that I must do that myself with critical code even when there are other developers because they just won't take it serious. Walking through my own code, just the critical pieces, not immediately but after a day allows me to verify logic if I do it in detail.

I've never had any issue with doing that when I needed to. Just be careful.

You actually have it pretty good. I have had jobs where there was only one of the system in the company (and there was no way they would buy or build another simply for development and test).
It's one of the things that separates the men from the boys.
You'll never get very far if all you do is follow instructions.

I feel for her, and can only imagine how good she'll feel if I help take it[^] off her hands.

Oooh, nice! Wish more people got divorced in Toronto.

I think you misunderstand, you're supposed to help her with that by a little purchase.

I would, but the shipping would kill me.

Is she offering local pickup?

I've gotten frustrated by growing memory reqs for web sites and Mozilla's lack of a 64bit build on Windows. I'm considering a running a 3rd party build[^] of FF that does support Win64. I'm a bit concerned about how well Flash will behave though; a few years ago there was a lot of noise about the fact taht Flash64 was buggy as hell on Windows; since then it's quieted down a lot but I have no idea if it's because Adobe fixed the problems or just because it became old news.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Do you not like Chrome? It has a 64 bit build nowadays with Flash

I do not.
I'm also uninterested in discussing why again. It's been at least a year since I've seen a single new argument about why I shouldn't have a problem with the feature I consider a deal breaker; and unlike Cueball I'd rather spend quality time with Megan.

Out of interest: how often do you find you need flash?
It seems I need it less and less these days. Which is a good thing I feel.

So how often is that going to happen? Where's the aftermarket support opportunities? Let's pour a little gin and think this out more fully...

Now I have the Flash Gordon song stuck in my head.
What a way to start the week.
Thanks.

Less often than I used to; but often enough that I'm not willing to demote sites using it to only being viewable in The Crap Browser (along with such horrors as Java plugins and Optimized for IE6  ) yet. Maybe next year....

It brings to mind how many times, as a developer, I or a colleague have been told that we are cynical for pointing out that, to use a metaphor, we will probably never get reindeer to fly.
