Bug and Loss

 Hi,

Greetings!!

We recently had a case study of Disney that what happens when a software fails. It can cost pennies to fix but millions of dollars to distribute a solution. Most are simple, subtle failure, with many being so smell that it’s not clear which ones are true failure and which ones aren’t.  A software bug is a problem causing a program to crash or produce invalid output. The problem is caused by insufficient or erroneous logic. A bug can be an error, mistake, defect or fault, which may cause failure or deviation from expected results.

There’s an old saying ‘If you can’t say it, you can’t do it.’ This applies perfectly to software development and testing.

Coding errors may be familiar to you if you’re a programmer. Typically, these can be traced to the s/w’s complexity, poor documentation, schedule pressure or just plain dumb mistakes. It’s important to note that many bugs that appears on the surface to be programming errors can really be traced to specification and design error. It’s quite common to hear a programmer say,” Oh, so that’s what it’s supposed to do. If somebody had just told me that I wouldn't have written the code that way”.

                                              The cost to fix bugs can increase dramatically over time
