Abstract

differently by different researchers and to the some extent the professionals working on different software developments and quality testing of the same also agrees with it. In the context of the same the researchers in this study tried to explore the perception of the professional working in the IT industry regarding root causes of bugs in any software. The researchers studied the possibility of significant difference in the opinion about the reason of bugs by different professionals on the basis of their job profile, experience in the same domain, age group and gender. The outcomes of the study would be useful for further studies or the software professionals while software development and testing of the same.
