Why does software have bugs?

Question

Thank you!! @@

Answer 1

Because the hardware is too hard for bugs :-D

Software have bugs because the developers never do a proper testing or they never expected how the user will use the software.

For example, once I created a software to help the users convert the currency of one country to another using exchange rates so that they can bill the foreign customers. However, I never expected them to key in zero. So the program crash when it tried to divide the amount of money by zero. When I ask them why they key in zero ? They told me that they don't have the latest exchange rates so they key in the first number they could think of "0".



  

Answer 2

bug is directly proportional to software developer

if s/w developer is good in testing

then definitely bugs ll reduce

and he must perform both black box and white box testing to reduce bugs

because of some unreached code and events may cause bugs

because of human the s/w ll hav bugs and not because of t language developed

Answer 3

because very little that is man made is perfect.

Answer 4

Because software testers needs BUGS............. [:)]

Answer 5

There are many reasons for Bug in software, Most are man introduced and some are machine oriented.

Every human being makes lot of mistakes.that way every

software should have lot mistkes.mostly software mistakes

are the fallowing resons

mis communication or no communication

software complexity

programing errors

changing requirment's

time presser

Answer 6

If software didnt have bugs then I would be out of a job...

and why do you keep posting lots and lots of quite simple questions in this topic?

Answer 7

LOL ... not bugs again please. I am feeling like an insect ... lol.

Take care Jen, and please ignore my profound answers. I feel so itchy now because of all these bugs.  

Answer 8

The Logos commands it.

Because all error contains the possibility that there might be another way.

Evolution proceeds by Natural Selection & Random Mutation.

Random Mutation = Bugs.

Most the time bugs are just annoying.  But if computers ever gain the capacity for self replication, bugs will allow their evolution.

Answer 9

because that makes the IT job a great life experience....

Answer 10

Bugs are errors in the code that make up the software. Every piece of software has a number of developers and these errors can go unnoticed until someone tests the software. Usually when a bug is discovered by a tester or client, the developer is able to resolve the bug pretty quickly because they can see the portion of code that contains the error.

Answer 11

Software has bugs because they're are created by humans, and it's human to make mistakes. For example, if a programmer tells a piece of software to do one thing that requires a given amount of memory, but forgets to tell the software to free up that memory after it's done with it. This will result in a specific kind of bug called a "memory leak".
