QualiTest Group Releases Helpful New Infographic -
Online, October 16, 2013 (Newswire.com) - QualiTest Group, a leading independent QA and software testing company, recently released an infographic that takes a look at the faces behind some of the worst software bugs of all time. The piece, titled "Software Bugs Really Bite," aims to demonstrate the danger of software bugs that sneak through in the development process - and provides some interesting real-world examples for readers.
"We wanted to develop a piece that shows the layperson the kind of damage that software bugs can cause in a visually compelling way," said a representative from QualiTest. "Although we wanted our infographic to be fun and interesting, we also wanted to highlight the very real potential for problems when software glitches sneak through in the development process."
The infographic runs down six of the world's most famous software failures, from a glitch that caused an epidemic in the MMORPG World of Warcraft to a bug that resulted in ATMs spitting out "free money." The issues posed by poor quality assurance and software testing are intended to be amusing, but the message of the infographic is clear: it's far less costly to address software issues in the testing phase than to clean up a huge mess caused by a bug.
QualiTest has shown viable information to help any software developer from beginner to expert, eliminate costly mistakes that can become a nightmare. Sometimes these simple mistakes can be overlooked and cause serious issues as shown. This works as a great guide to remind any programmer of past mistakes that can be avoided.
