Redefining Software Correctness

The concept of correctness in software is evolving, shifting from traditional functional correctness to a more complex understanding that includes input values and performance metrics. As systems become more data-driven and predictive, they transform into cybernetic systems that operate independently, closing the loop of observation, orientation, decision-making, and action without human intervention. This marks a significant departure from classical software paradigms, highlighting the intricate relationship between software and real-world inputs.
