In software testing, defects are issues or problems found during testing that deviate from expected behaviour or requirements. A defect can be any flaw or error that makes the software behave in an unintended or undesirable way. Many factors, including programming errors, design flaws, or incorrect user input, can cause defects.
Root causes are the underlying reasons that lead to the occurrence of defects. Identifying root causes is an important step in preventing defects from occurring in the future. Root causes may include poor design, inadequate testing, lack of quality control processes, or insufficient documentation.
Effects refer to the consequences of defects, from minor issues that impact usability or functionality to critical errors that cause system crashes or data loss.
Effects can be direct or indirect, impacting different software parts or the overall system.Enter your text here...
