Causes of Software Defects

It is practically impossible that developer develop a bug free software and that software we can deliver without Testing. If the complexity of the software increased then there must be bugs that can harm the users who will use that software.

There are some factors which are the some causes of  introduction of bug in software
  • Lack of Product Knowledge or Misunderstanding regarding the Requirement
  • When unrealistic time schedule provided by Management Team
  • Person that using the software do not have enough knowledge regarding the software that followed the bugs
  • There may be design mistakes during designing
  • There may be some lack in coding due to that software have some bugs
  • Due to human factors introduce a bug into the software
  • May be used Third Party Tool have bugs already. So once we use them those bugs introduce in our system
  • Sometimes requirement changes in last minute 
  • Testing Environment is not setup correctly
  • Lack of  Version Controlling
  • Complexity of the software program 
  • Written Test Cases without proper understanding of the Software requirement
  • Not provide proper training when introduce to use new technologies

What is API?

In general way, API (Application Programming Interface) is the intermediate software which is useful for two applications to communicate. API is the tool which is used for interaction of two applications. If developer developing any software which have multiple blocks (Modules) than developer use APIs to put them together.

Smoke Testing

In Smoke Testing, Testing team check the key feature or key bugs of the software. Smoke testing ensure that critical functionality of the software is working fine.If key features are not working then it is no needed to test the overall functionality because it is just waste of time. In Smoke Testing, test team check the basic feature of the software and if basic feature is not working it means software is broken very badly and further testing is unnecessary. If Smoke Testing failed then it is declared that build is unstable and revert back to developer team until smoke test is pass.

Difference between Error, Bug, Defect and Failure

Error: Any mistake in the coding called error. The mistake may be Syntax error, Logical errors or other GUI errors lead errors in any software. These are from developer side. Defect: The error which made by developer and during testing, Tester is able to find that errors,  means if actual result deviated from expected result then that error called defects. This is caught by testers. Bug: The defect which is developed by tester team, if expected by the developer team then that defect called an bug. Failure: If the Software does not meet the client requirement then this is called failure of the software.
