Who Is Responsible for Bugs?


A software bug is the common term used to describe an error, flaw, mistake, failure, or fault in a computer program or system that produces an incorrect or unexpected result, or causes it to behave in unintended ways. Most bugs arise from mistakes and errors made by people in either a program's source code or its design, and a few are caused by compilers producing incorrect code.

From the definition provided above we discover that bugs come up as a result of mistakes but in all cases someone has to take responsibility for them especially when someone is paying for the product. Each company is responsible of the products that it releases to the public and if any accident occurs the firm is the to face the consequence. If the firm is held responsible that will mean that the company will be more cautious before it is sued and pays tones of money for a lawsuit or before its reputation is tarnished.

And if a user discovers a bug even in a security system the user should not be disciplined instead it would be more appropriate for firm to award the user for notifying them. In some cases bugs result in terribly tragedies and some of them even death. So it would be a privilege on the firms side for a customer to alert them for an error in there own product.
