Abstract
Value added developers are highly dependent upon the quality and security of the platform on which they build. As a developer of an automotive IoT product, I am concerned about the potential liability I may share with the platform vendor should our devices get hacked and damages are incurred. Platform vendors do not publish objective metrics about the quality of their software, making it impossible to gauge baseline quality and subsequent improvements. By definition, security holes are bugs, and many product bugs are security holes. Conversely, testing only shows the presence of bugs, but not the absence of bugs. As a result, it can be difficult to prove the quality level of any product. Based upon the number of updates and the many reported successful hacking incidents, there is likely significant room for the improvement of quality and security of today's software products.
