Ummm...  Show me the software with no known problems, and I'll show
you the software that hasn't been tested.

1679A defines problems in terms of severity.  Pri 1 -- Pri 5.

The old NAVELEX TADSTANDS provided test and acceptance criteria
for Navy software in Mission Critical Computer Resources.  The
TADSTANDS were cancelled by SECNAVINST 5200.32A  which considers
software as part of the system.  The acceptance criteria was no
Pri 1s or 2s.

But the real acceptance criteria is whether the independent T&E
agent finds the system operationally effective and suitable.
