Software Testing Fundamentals questions and answers

Why does Software have bugs?

Here is the broad list:

1. Miscommunication or no communication –
As to specifics of what an application should or shouldn’t do (the application’s requirements).

2. Software complexity –
The complexity of current software applications can be difficult to comprehend for anyone without experience in modern-day software development.

3. Programming errors -
Programmers, like anyone else, can make mistakes.

4. Changing requirements -
The customer may not understand the effects of changes, or may understand and request them anyway – redesign,

—  Rescheduling of engineers, effects on other projects, work already completed that may have to be redone or thrown out, hardware requirements that may be affected, etc.

5. Time pressures -
Scheduling of software projects is difficult at best, often requiring a lot of guesswork. When deadlines loom and the crunch comes, mistakes will be made.
