Software is virtually omnipresent and affects everything we do. With all software comes bugs, a coding error in a computer program that is due to:
• unclear or constantly changing requirements & timelines
• software complexity
• programming and bug tracking errors
• communication gap
• documentation errors
• deviation from standards
In this ebook we look at how bugs can be expensive and difficult to resolve and have been known to cause death, monetary repercussions and negative effects on people’s privacy, valuable data and even their safety. Although, software malfunctions are closely monitored these days, the potential for chaos, public relation disasters and spiraling costs still remain. Testing (QA) has become more of a necessity in recent years, although, plenty of businesses still view testing and monitoring as an optional extra, despite the fact that poor quality software continues to cost US organizations over $2 trillion annually. What has remained unchanged is the different methods of testing/quality assurance that can be brought to the product by dedicated QA teams:
• Developers
• Testers
• Employee’s
