Software Quality Assurance: Concepts and Techniques

Understanding Errors in Software Development

An error is a fault in a program that causes unexpected behavior or failure. Errors stem from incorrect logic, invalid input, hardware failures, or software bugs.

Types of Errors

  1. Syntax Errors – Violate language rules, preventing execution.

    Example:

    print("Hello, World"  # Missing parenthesis
    

    Fix: Follow correct syntax.

  2. Logical Errors – Code runs but gives incorrect output.

    Example:

    def add(a, b):
        return a - b  # Wrong logic
    

    Fix: Debug logic carefully.
