Round 1 Summary
Each participating team submitted a final report and included a portion to be published.
Software controls more and more of our lives, and the developers of software components can neither foresee, or oversee the amounts of bugs in their own systems. RuntimeTypeInspector.js is now freely available to be integrated into a JavaScript code base so that a lot of bugs can be easily detected during testing, preventing such bugs from leaking into production systems. RuntimeTypeInspector.js has the potential to prevent major software failures and ensure the safety and functionality of software systems for everyday users.
