Great reply, always like the bug reports that say
this function does not work fix it. but have no description of the failure, when it occurred, where on a map one was, altitude of plane, what you were doing, banking, turning, dive or climb.
Testing can only find and fix so many problem, take a product that looks like it is complete and give it to 10,000 people runing on a number of difference operation systems. 95, 98, 2000, ME, XP home, XP Professional, etc. On a series of CPU running anywhere from 333 mhz to 2gig plus, with
various motherboards and configuration. Now add in the internet and communication problems to the mix and it gets more difficult to complete test every possilbe combination that will exist in the field.
Software is never fully tested no matter how long you test until after it is in the field. Then the real testing begins.
I know all about this, Developer, and change team
It is interesting when you find a bug that was in the code for a number of years and it just showed up 10 or 12 years later.
