When do defects in software testing arise?
Because of the following reasons the software defects arise:
- The person using the software application or product may not have enough knowledge of the product.
- Maybe the software is used in the wrong way which leads to the defects or failures.
- The developers may have coded incorrectly and there can be defects present in the design.
- Incorrect setup of the testing environments.
To know when defects in software testing arise, let us take a small example with a diagram as given below. [Read more…] about When do defects in software testing arise?
From where do defects and failures in software testing arise?

- Errors in use of the system
- Environmental conditions
- Intentional damage
- Potential consequences of earlier errors
