A Conspiracy of Software Quality

CONSPIRACY OF SOFTWARE QUALITY There’s a conspiracy of silence regarding the quality of software. A conspiracy theory explains a political, social or economic event as caused or covered up by a group or organization. Often, when a conspiracy theory begins, it grows stronger. Facts that agree with theory, definitely are evidence for the theory. Facts that disagree with the theory are part of the cover-up and so prove that there is as a matter of fact a cover-up, thus they are also evidence for the theory.

BUG REPORT IN CONSPIRACY

When it comes to a conspiracy of quality of software, a ‘bug report’ is a description of some error that happened while using a computer program. This helps to inform a developer of an issue that should be fixed. Software companies spring conditions routinely on the client after they’ve paid for the product. However, before a customer could install it on the computer, conditions such as they won’t let the customer see before paying for it could absolve them for any defects of the product and the harm that it could do to data and dissolves any ownership rights one might have had. It could also even restrict the use of the product that a customer is paying for.

The software business maintains software police who could get warrants to enter the business and find thousands of money if software is not used in adherence to the industry’s complex rules. Why do they have to do this? Because they could and because customers allow them. Consumers who otherwise would cry with outrage over any other product that turned out to be faulty have been conditioned to give the software field a free ride. If one does not get satisfaction from the software and the vendor, tell the word. There are places on the internet to post information about bug or bugs, write up bugs discovered in a software in a firm, polite way and share the information with others. Another way is to write to computer magazines armed with data and info. Complaints should be filed with the Better Business Bureau computer organizations. Many software vendors distribute early software versions called beta versions for free to interested clients. This is still under test and thus would be more unstable compared to an average software. People that use bet software are helping the vendor to develop a better final product. Sometimes they are rewarded with a free copy of the final software. In the beta process, the vendors, they listen and listen well.

Software is integral to people who are trying to get work done, protect critical data, organize busy lives or even just to have fun and for a nation as an engine or tool for economic growth. Through its history, software has been mesmerized by cooler, newer features but with quality taking a backseat. However, keep in mind that feature are toys while reliability is responsibility. It’s about time for the software industry to set aside the toys and take on bigger responsibilities. The most important feature of a new software should be reliability.

Risk in software encompasses the possibility of happening for uncertain events and potential loss within a company. Managing risk has become a vital component of the development of software as organizations continue implementing more apps across multi-tiered, multiple technology environment. Software risk typically is considered as a combination of performance efficiency, robustness, transactional and security risk propagated all throughout the system. Most companies do not have a process that directly address risk that results from active development of custom software. Relying on testing, such as regression tests, system integration, performance tests and user integration tests is the traditional approach. Adding a structural quality gate to QA is vital to measure and prevent the risk in software in mission critical systems.

Majority of the structural quality defects actually aren’t related to concerns in code quality. It is a common misconception that code quality tools could address software risk. In truth, structural quality needs system analysis to detect faults that pose risk. In a complex technology scenario, it’s not enough to deal with issues as they become apparent. The key to experience flawless performance and to get the most out of the systems, apps and the development team is prevention. Exposing not so obvious weaknesses in an infrastructure with software analysis solutions that are dependable ensures proper identification of

  1. Vulnerabilities of the system
  2. Compliance concerns
  3. Stability issues
  4. Performance degradation
  5. Efficiency weaknesses
  6. Flaws in security

There is a conspiracy when it comes to a software quality. The conspiracy theory explains a social, political instance as covered up by an organization.
