This invention relates to methods and a system for supporting software. In one embodiment, a method for providing an updated version of a software program includes receiving an indication of a fault in a software program, distributing the faulty software program to a distributed community of programmers, receiving updated versions of the faulty software program from a subset of the distributed community of programmers, and determining a preferred updated software program from the received updated versions of the software program. In another embodiment, a system for providing an updated version of a software program includes a communication server for communicating faulty software programs and updates of the programs to and from the distributed community of programmers, a component storage module for storing the faulty software program, and a software testing module for determining a preferred updated version of the faulty software program. |
