Different types of bugs

Image
1) Functionality Errors: Functionality is a way the software is intended to behave. Software has a functionality error if something that you expect it to do is hard, awkward, confusing, or impossible. 2) Communication Errors: These errors occur in communication from software to end-user. Anything that the end user needs to know in order to use the software should be made available on screen. 3)Missing command errors: This happens to occur when an expected command is missing. 4) Syntactic Error: Syntactic errors are misspelled words or grammatically incorrect sentences and are very evident while testing softwareGUI. Please note that we are NOT referring to syntax errors in code. The compiler will warn the developer about anysyntax errors that occur in the code 5) Error handling errors: Any errors that occur while the user is interacting with the software needs to be handled in a clear and meaningful manner. If not, it is called as an Error Handling Error. 6) Ca...

What is bug?

A software bug is an error, flaw, failure or fault in a computer program or system that causes it to produce an incorrect or unexpected result, or to behave in unintended ways. The process of fixing bugs is termed "debugging" and often uses formal techniques or tools to pinpoint bugs, and since the 1950s, some computer systems have been designed to also deter,detect or auto-correct various computer bugs during operations. Most bugs arise from mistakes and errors made in either a program's source code or its design, or in components and operating systems used by such programs. A few are caused by compilers producing incorrect code. A program that contains a large number of bugs, and/or bugs that seriously interfere with its functionality, is said to be buggy (defective). Bugs can trigger errors that may have ripple effects. Bugs may have subtle effects or cause the program to crash or freeze the computer. Other bugs qualify as security bugs and might, for example,...
