| Sumario: | The article discusses the dynamics of clumping, a phenomenon common in computer softwares wherein its total number of internal states could not be covered at a given runtime. The internal structure of a particular program is composed of inter-connected components or internal states which result to an independency of one state to the other, thereby limiting the space in which the program can execute commands. Clumping was observed in a diagnosis application for monitoring patients in intensive care wherein the 525,312 internal states of the software were not reached at the given runtime.
