What Types of Software Bugs[2] Can You Encounter?

Bugs are dangerous. You can put lots of effort into developing a perfect product, but everything will be spoiled in one second because of one small error. That’s what the real essence of bug is. It is mainly erroring that you don’t even expect to happen. These errors, in turn, have different faces. Some of them happen more often, and some of them not.

That’s why there is another group of bugs that QA specialists call a nightmare. What’s so unusual about them? Let’s figure it out: 

Bugs have different faces, and very often, you don’t even guess about their existence. That’s why there is a software testing that can detect all the imperfections of application, and deliver product owners confidence of correct functionality for all the users. But how to catch all those bugs? 

Secrets on Reducing Software Bugs (For Developers)

Both usual and unusual bugs can be detected during different types of software testing, for example, functional, system, integration checking types, and more. Apart from this, there are some of the secrets of catching all those bugs faster. Today, QATestLab will share bits and pieces on them:
