Failures Database
This database contains reports analyzing software failures from the news. Currently, it contains failures from 2010 to 2022. This database was created through the FAIL (Failure Analysis Investigation with LLM) project. FAIL leverages Large Language Models (LLMs) to collect and analyze software failures reported in the news. Our work has been presented in the paper titled "FAIL: Analyzing Software Failures from the News Using LLMs." Contributing members include Dharun Anandayuvaraj, Matthew Campbell, Tanmay Singla, Parth Patil, Arav Tewari, and James C. Davis from Purdue University.

Lack of a mandatory five-letter search requirement in medication cabinets to prevent drug mix-ups [127019]. 3. Failure of some hospitals to activate the five-letter search safety feature in Omnicell cabinets, leading to workflow problems and spelling errors [127019]. 4. Omnicell cabinets allowing searches with a single letter by default, potentially contributing to errors [127019]. 5.
