Failure and Bug Testing
About Failure and Bug Testing
In
Software testing, when the expected and actual behavior is not
matching, an incident needs to be raised. An incident may be a Bug. It
is a programmer's fault that a programmer intended to implement a
certain behavior, but the code fails to correctly conform to this
behavior because of incorrect implementation in coding. It is also known
as a Defect.
Failure and Bug testing refer to testing for bugs
and failures. Bug tracking is the process of logging and monitoring bugs
or errors during software testing. It is also referred to as defect
tracking or issue tracking. Large systems may have hundreds or thousands
of defects. Each needs to be evaluated, monitored, and prioritized for
debugging. In some cases, bugs may need to be tracked over a long period
of time.
Why is Failure and Bug Testing important?
The importance of failure and bug testing is
• Create high-quality products - A bug testing system ensures bugs are easily detected and fixed.
•
Improved customer satisfaction - End users get products that work
better and have quick updates and bug fixes. The quality assurance team,
developers, or managers can provide clarification, suggestions, or
feedback on the reported issues, enhancing the service provided.
•
The cost of product development is lowered - The development team
works on high-priority bugs first. When these are dealt with early in
the development cycle, the overall success of the product is enhanced.
