 		 #129235 - The trouble with simulation
Responding to: ???'s previous message
Richard Erlacher said:
Until you have firm requirements, you can't do anything.

Absolutely!

Once you've done that, you can try your code in a simulator to ensure it does what you intend.

Here is a big problem if the same person develops both the code & the simulation: If you have misunderstood and/or misinterpreted the requirements, then both your designing and your simulation/testing will be flawed!
Because the design & the simulation/testing share the same flaw, you will conclude that everyting is OK - when it isn't!
