Some Interesting Facts • China Airlines Airbus A300 crashed due to a software bug on April 26, 1994, killing 264 innocents live • Nissan cars recalled over 1 million cars from the market due to software failure in the airbag sensory detectors. There has been reported two accident due to this software failure. • In 1985, Canada’s Therac-25 radiation therapy machine malfunctioned due to software bug and delivered lethal radiation doses to patients, leaving 3 people dead and critically injuring 3 others. • Starbucks was forced to close about 60 percent of stores in the U.S and Canada due to software failure in its POS system. At one point, the store served coffee for free as they were unable to process the transaction. • In April of 1999, a software bug caused the failure of a $1.2 billion military satellite launch, the costliest accident in history 5

- 8. What is Software Testing? Find software errors and verify that an application or system is fit for use • The testing is important since it discovers defects/bugs before the delivery to the client, which guarantees the quality of the software. • Companies can save millions per year in development and support if they have a good testing technique and QA processes in place. • It makes the software more reliable and easier to use. • Thoroughly tested software ensures reliable and high-performance software operation. • Helps to avoid dangerous situations • Determining the performance of the software 8
