Find out why your software is buggy, and here comes the secret fixes every tester needs to know on the quest for bug-free code. 1. Insufficient Test Coverage Undeniably, one of the leading causes that ultimately besiege software are bugs: that is, test coverage is too low. Not if all the edge cases and user interactions do not get covered by your test suite you are likely to miss some important bugs. An important next step would be to have a testing strategy: unit tests, integration tests, and end-to-end tests. Tools to track code coverage will provide the knowledge of where an ap
