A bug in any context can be termed as an opportunity for improvement. It is often mis-communicated as a mistake or an error. What has to be understood in this regard is that the software has been designed & developed to meet certain purposes. There is never a need to deliberately induce bugs into the system. Software bugs are instances where either the design or the actual code deviates from the requirements or meets the requirements in a way that is not desirable for end users of the system. It is inevitable that they are induced during design/development. These are not & should not be considered as mistakes.
How we identify & deal with software bugs goes a long way in forecasting how well the software will perform in the market. Buggy software is unacceptable. Bug-less software seldom exists. So it is in identifying the right bugs at the right time that guarantees success of the software. QSG’s Test suites are designed in such a way that the most major software bugs are found as early as possible in the test cycle. This is definitely advantageous to our development teams with respect to having more time to fix them. Our customers have understood & acknowledged the value that this adds to their overall product life cycle.
