Good question.

I think I do, since one of the examples I blogged about was a web designer
delivering a database-driven website that was vulnerable to really basic
SQL-injection attacks. To me, that doesn't meet "fitness for purpose", as it
cannot survive the environment in which it's going to be deployed.

I'm thinking this is the same class of "failure" as delivering a piece of
equipment for use on a ship that wasn't resistant to the corrosive effects
of salty air.
