A few questions. Anyone know how much software (LOC, instruction and
data space sizes) is involved here?

Oh dear. These statistics are easy to measure, but that doesn't mean
they are important. More interesting would be a measure of the
complexity of the code, as that correlates better with the effort
required to get the system working.


* Testing and Simulation

They have a section titled "Building confidence through testing"

That's worrisome. To quote the great programmer, testing can only show
the presence of bugs, never the absence. (Testing is necessary, it
isn't sufficient.)
