A: Software failure occurs when the software does not do what the user expects to see.
Q: What is the difference between a software fault and software failure?
A: A software failure occurs when the software does not do what the user expects to see. Software faults, on the other hand, are hidden programming errors. Software faults become software failures only when the exact computation conditions are met, and the faulty portion of the code is executed on the CPU. This can occur during normal usage. Other times it occurs when the software is ported to a different hardware platform, or, when the software is ported to a different complier, or, when the software gets extended.
Q: What is a test engineer?
