In IT Companies, project which works on software product development face multiple challenges or issues during their entire software life cycle. One of the regular challenges which they face is the different kind or defects or issues in the software they developed or enhanced. These defects or issues are the problems which exist in their software. Normally the issues are unavoidable in any software’s. Even if certain pieces of code introduced to fix one issue, the same code might add other defects. It’s well known that every piece of code introduced will increase the chances of new issues in the software. A Software defects are well known as bugs, which describes the fault in the system that produces incorrect or unexpected results. All defects or bugs are introduced by the mistakes or ignorance of the people while writing the source code or create fault in the design.
Several times it’s been observed or noted that more the defects or issue with the software, more dissatisfied the customer. Customer considers or relates this defect count to the quality of the software being delivered to them. Customer dis-satisfaction on the software quality actually results in project failure. Depending on the kind of issues or quality of the software, usage of the software is actually decided. Issues in software occur from something or somewhere during development or coding has not worked as planned. As this has become unavoidable, people started to realize the need of implementing bug tracking process, in order to identify and remove bugs or issues or defects within the application or software system.According to (Kolluri, n.d.)the potentiality and soundness of a worthy bug tracking system have no parallel in helping the systems to enhance the ...

Based on the entire research conclusion the Marketing Strategy for the new startup Ligso would be made. But in reality similar activity would be required to conduct for all the features or module present in Ligso and develop the full Marketing strategy for the launch.
Any software before getting fully developed and released to production environment, it undergoes different stages of development. As per wiki ("Software_release_life_cycle", 2012) “ A software release life cycle is the sum of the stages of development and maturity for a piece of computer software: ranging from its initial development to its eventual release, and including updated versions of the released version to help improve the software or fix bugs still present in the software”
The Development Lifecycle model really depends on the product being developed. If the product is a new product that started out as an invention or new idea it will take a while longer to get it the product or idea ready to take to market. If the idea or product is changing the way another product or idea works to make it better it might not take as long to get the product to market
The Software Development Life Cycle is seldom used at my place of work. Unfortunately, recent developments in its use are deemed confidential. Due to this fact, this paper will examine in general terms one of the projects we are undertaking right now while at the same time attempting to maintain our confidentiality.
Software design and development is a field that requires various skills and abilities. Companies engaged in the development of software should provide an inclusive work environment where the different strengths of their employees are recognised, utilised and respected. Software development involves far more than programming skills. Personnel are required with strong communication, teamwork, attention to detail, creativity, design and problem-solving skills. Different personnel will possess these skills in varying proportions. It is the job of management to foster and encourage the development and enhancement of skills in the workplace.
The launch of a new product or service can be a defining and critical moment for any business. Precious resources such as time, money, manpower, research, and planning are just some of the few that are at risk for depletion if a company is not careful with launching a new product and/or service. In order to build their business and launch new product,
“Everything we see hides another thing, we always want to see what is hidden by what we see. There is an interest in that which is hidden and which the visible does not show us. This interest can take form of a quite intense feeling, a sort of conflict, one might say, between the visible that is hidden and the visible that is present.” (Magritte)
In mathematics, Pi is the symbol denoting the ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter. The ratio is approximately 3.14159265, pi being an irrational number (one that cannot be expressed as a simple fraction or as a decimal with a finite number of decimal places) and a transcendental number (one without continuously recurrent digits). Electronic computers in the late 20th century have carried pi to more than 100,000,000 decimal places.

Software has produce a critical phase in every organizations mission as it factors key activities and inconsistencies by developing appropriate strategies. Even more so by transmitting, human capital management, as profound concept of assets, which carries value to an organization in order to effectively, perform IT processes and strategies. Conclusively, SBA has made several progresses within the targeted IT sectors and implementation by analyzing and correcting business procedures and identifying the standards that support data maintenance and usage. Furthermore, SBA current policies yet to leave room from improvements as a sector that has yet to establish the proper guideline and applications in an ongoing operating environment.
The Systems Development Life Cycle (SDLC) consists of phases used in developing a piece of software. It is the plan of how to develop and maintain software, and when necessary, replace that software. In 2007 during my hospital’s transition to a new software system, I was fortunate enough to be included in the process. I did not get involved until the implementation phase, but from then on, until now, I remain very active in the process. I decided to highlight the Waterfall Model of SDLC. The Waterfall Model is a “sequential development process” with each phase continuing in a line (McGonigle and Mastrian, 2012, p. 205).
Given the time, it takes to develop large sophisticated software systems it not possible to define the problem and build the solution in a single step. Requirements will often change throughout a projects development, due to architectural constraints, customer’s needs or a greater understanding of the original problem. Iteration allows greater understanding of a project through successive refinements and addresses a projects highest risk items at every stage of its lifecycle. Ideally each iteration ends up with an executable release – this helps reduce a projects risk profile, allows greater customer feedback and help developers stay focused.
Developing a prognostic system for my client, my team and me have discovered some major bugs that have prevented me to deliver on time. I thought about the situation balancing the pros and cons of the situation and came up with approach to be honest about the situation to my client. I have discussed my opinion about the situation with providing suitable reasons for the same in the following report.

Every organization has unique reasons for automating software quality activities, but several reasons are common across industries.
...lect vital information about the capabilities and attributes of software and to help expose potential issues.
...times developers may not carry out quality assurance test (which make sure that the software is in pristine condition), and as a result of this, there could be problem with the software. Testing software before it’s rolled out for clients is really important, because it could cause huge losses both for the developer and the client who are going to make use of it. Even though a developer cannot be charged (as long as he is not liable) for bugs that causes damage, but the reputation of the developer comes to stake.
Software engineering is important in today’s society because we use the products of software engineering almost daily. We use the products of software engineering in objects as simple as our car keys to objects as complicated as supercomputers. The past, present, and future of software engineering is quite interesting. This paper will provide information about this field of study and why software engineering is going to be around a while.
