Nine Causes of Software Error

Error message box

The majority of defects in a software system are introduced in the earlier stages of development. Requirements are the top factor in a projects success or failure. It is therefore very important to spend a lot of time prior to development discovering the needs of the users and the requirements the system will need to satisfy in order to avoid large time consuming problems in the future.

Another important thing to note is that the cost of fixing defects or problems discovered is significantly less the earlier they are discovered. The saying time is money is no stranger to software development. Web development is no exception to these rules!

Here is a list of nine common causes of software errors that you should look out for and try to avoid!
