Builder  vs  Breaker: A Deep Dive into Software Quality

Have you ever thought about what goes into the background seeing how your favorite apps or software just seem to work?! On this episode of "Bugged or Not," we pull back the curtain on the interesting domain of software testing. Listen in as we discuss the very different mindsets of the developer (the builders) and testers (the breakers) and how their productive tension produces much better code.We will take apart the life of a bug from the time it appears (and writing an very clear defect report) until its life cycle has ended - including why some bugs are allowed to remain! We will also cover the breadth of the many types of testing (white box testing - analysing code, fuzz testing - for security threats), and the overwhelming problem of assuring a piece of software works for everyone, everywhere, dealing with browser and device fragmentation, and the important difference between localization and globalization.The "invisible army" exists of critical thinkers, software and systems detectives that try to assure your digital world remains smooth, reliable, and delightful.
