Here you will find some useful suggestions and guidance on How to Find a Bug in Application. Also, understand the different approaches to defect discovery:
Testing is often simplified as a bug-finding activity. Even though that’s not the entire job profile of testers, finding problems before the end users do is the long and short of our core duties. So, should testers worry when they test software and find no defects?
In other words, do zero defects mean no testing occurred? Not true. All testing finds defects. All software has bugs. It is up to the tester’s skill, time available, background information provided, domain knowledge, resources allocated, etc. that influences the question – How to find defects in an application?
It is hard to quantify how to develop the skill of finding defects but be assured that testers get especially better with experience and exposure to various kinds of software systems and their functionality.
Locate Bugs in Software Application
To set the context right for the rest of this article, let’s first loosely define what a bug or defect is.
A bug can be any software behavior:
- That deviates from expectations
- Does not conform to standards
- Hard to use
- Manipulative/ethically questionable
- Slow and consumes too many system resources
The above list is not comprehensive.
Now that we know what a defect is, let’s find out how to find bugs in a software application for each of the above points.
Finding Defects: Distinct Criteria
Deviance From Expected Behavior or Missing Requirements
Finding defects by checking software features against documented requirements is a simple, straightforward, and most commonly used method to find defects.
Most testers are super proficient in this skill. Reviewing requirements and identifying validation scenarios/test cases is a day-to-day activity for testers. When these test cases are executed, any requirements that deviate from the expected behavior and/or any functionality that is missing are identified easily and reported as bugs.
Example:
Login feature: This feature asks for a username and password. On Submit, it opens another prompt asking for OTP/Code sent to a mobile device to complete authentication.
This is a simple example of detailed, documented feature requirements. Requirements such as this are easy to test. Formal testing practices will now apply verification and validation practices to test this feature.
- Verification: A review of the login page will ensure that we have all the inputs as expected, they confirm to look and feel, etc.
- Validation: Login page is now tested for both positive and negative tests as listed below to check if all functionality is working as expected and there are no missing requirements.
Also Read =>> Verification and Validation Concepts
| Test Case | Expected Result |
|---|---|
| ● Launch Login Page ● Enter User ID and Password. Click Submit ● Enter OTP in confirmation prompt and click Submit | ● Login page is displayed ● OTP prompt page shows and the user received OTP on mobile ● The user is authenticated |
| ● Launch Login Page ● Enter incorrect User ID and Password ● Click Submit | ● Login page is displayed ● Forgot password page should show ● OTP should not be sent |
| ● Launch Login Page ● Enter User ID and Password. Click Submit ● Enter incorrect OTP in confirmation prompt and click OK | ● Login page is displayed ● OTP prompt page shows and the user received OTP on mobile ● The user should not be authenticated |
| ● Launch Login Page ● Enter User ID and Password. Click Submit ● Enter OTP after the OTP has expired at the confirmation prompt and click OK | ● Login page is displayed ● OTP prompt page shows and the user received OTP on mobile ● The user should not be authenticated |
Suggested Read =>> How to develop test cases from requirements
When I execute the tests and find that an expired OTP is still accepted, I have a bug. I can report it and have it addressed by the development team for troubleshooting and eventual fixing.
Non-Conformance to Standards
We know that all web applications and websites follow WWW conventions. Banking and insurance applications follow domain-specific norms. We are already familiar with the data and privacy policies as users.
[image source]
Therefore, testing for standard confirmation is another important testing requirement. If you are wondering how we can test for these and find defects?
Here are some pointers:
- Familiarize yourself with the domain you are working in.
- If working with web applications, HTML itself is a standard, learn it and understand its intricacies.
- Understanding data and privacy policies.
- Review your web applications for internationalization and accessibility standards.
- Suggest having your applications reviewed by third-party experts when lacking the knowledge in-house.
As you can see, the defects in this area may or may not be functional but just as important because failure to comply might in extreme cases have legal implications. The trick to finding bugs related to non-conformance is gaining a deeper knowledge of the domain and technology of your AUT(Application Under Test.)
Ease of Use
We have all had experiences with software that is hard to use.
Recently, a children’s math app had overlapping buttons when viewed horizontally on the iPad. I saw a child struggling to turn the iPad side to side in order to properly use the app and interact with it. The kicker is that it is an app meant for the iPad.
My car won’t connect to Apple Car Play when my husband and I are both in the car with our own Apple and Android devices. We have to systematically turn all Bluetooth connections off and then connect one at a time, choosing specifically what device we want to use for navigation, phone calls, music, etc.
I am sure you can come up with several such examples where real-life scenarios are not tested enough and the technology we end up engaging with becomes frustrating at so many levels.
So, how to find defects in the software when it works but is not easy to use? Here are some tips:
- Wear a user’s hat and becomes a user’s advocate
- Ask ‘what-if’ questions.
- Go beyond documented test cases and dedicate time, effort, and resources to explore
- Try different combinations for test data and test environments
>> Click here for more examples of usability issues.
User Manipulation and Information Misrepresentation (Deliberate or Accidental)
If you have ever applied for a job on LinkedIn, you know that there is a teeny tiny checkbox at the end of the application form that is automatically ON to follow that recruiting company and receive their updates. You might see some sites that make saving credit card information a default option.
Are these defects? Maybe not functional defects but to me these are problematic areas and as a tester, they are totally fair game.
How to find defects such as these?
- Be the end user advocate in such cases. Again, there is no need to fight that such features be removed at all costs, but when you see something like this, say something. Report them and be clear on how you perceive this to be manipulative or misrepresenting or ambiguous. If the rest of the project team decides that they want to keep it as is, then that’s that. But if something seems problematic to you as a user, report it.
- Even better if these can be caught during requirement gathering, so participate in the requirement discussions and pay attention to what is being finalized.
Performance and High Resource Consumption
- Database clients that make using anything else in the system impossible.
- Emails that take too long to load.
- Streaming platforms that keep buffering.
These are some cases where the systems are too slow or consume too many resources impacting the software and its effectiveness for the end user.
To find performance defects:
- Monitor system usage over time before release.
- Test Applications with data and users- as close to a real-time situation.
- Use performance analysis applications.
BONUS: Hidden and Hard to Find Defects
You might think finding a blocker bug such as a system crash is the hardest and most rewarding. It’s not always true. Any tester with even the smallest amount of experience will tell you that it is those difficult-to-find and hard-to-reproduce defects that take up most of our time. Finding such subtle bugs is challenging and satisfactory.
Let me share my experience of one such subtle bug that was not only difficult to catch, but was difficult to reproduce as well.
I was testing a module from my search engine project. Due to high complexity, most of the testing tasks were performed manually. The application under test involves traffic and revenue stats of different affiliates and advertisers. And, testing such reports is always a difficult task.
Initially, the report showed that the data processing was accurate. Upon testing again, the results were not consistent which was strange and confusing.
In the background, it’s a collection of cron jobs (Cron is an automated script that runs after a specified time or condition) to process the log files, update the database and synchronize the data. For the specific functionality I was working on, there were two crons running on one table within a certain time interval.
On digging deeper, the data processing inconsistency was due to a certain column in the data table written by one cron job being overwritten by another. This took a long time to examine and find the root cause of this defect.

Tips to find hidden defects in web/other applications:
- Understand the application and its architecture in depth.
- Provide all the information about the issue in the hidden bug report.
- Prepare thorough, detailed, and risk-based test cases.
- Create a variety of Test Data to ensure different scenarios can be tested.
- Repeat tests in different test environments.
- In case of encountering bugs, try to find patterns by examining the test results for similarities and dissimilarities.
- Augmented documented test cases with exploratory/monkey testing.
- Get expert user feedback. BAs, tech architects, and UAT users can all become an additional set of eyes.
- Use your previous bug-finding experience. For example, if you found issues in a web application with some HTML tags, put that historical knowledge to use.
- Test critically and aggressively. Especially when it’s short of time.
Conclusion
We hope this article is a good guide for beginners and experienced testers on how to approach defect discovery and puts to rest your insecurities that you may not find defects.
Don’t believe me?- challenge yourself. Pick any application – Amazon, Twitter, Apple CarPlay, etc. I bet you anything you will find a defect in one of the categories listed above. Once you find these defects, we hope you will share them with us below.
Along with these defects, please share your feedback, thoughts, comments, and experiences below.
Happy Defect Hunting!

With Black Box testing one can find many bugs in application but certainly not all. Although it’s not mandatory but if a QA can also look into the code and understand its logic then he can find many more hidden bugs which is called white box testing technique.
It is always better to go for Automation Testing to make the repetitive Testing process faster to get extra time to find more n more bugs in application whether functional, GUI, Performance, Security etc.
If you are new in testing field, then discussing the requirements with your seniors and getting their experience can also help in identifying more test scenarios and bugs.

You should always test like you’re trying to break the application – otherwise you’ll get bored pretty soon. There should be a never ending contest between developers and testers. and when both sides are competitive enough (and have fun in the process), you know you can sleep well at night after releasing a new version.

Hi Sameer,
I mentioned one of my testing experiences in above post.
Here I will share one more experience which is related to the how should tester think while testing?
In one of my appraisal form my manager commented one line as “Wear cap of different users while testing respective modules”.
It taught me lot of things.
Tester should think all the effects of the particular updated module. In my web project there were different modules like Advertiser stats pages, related admin pages, related advertiser-Partner pages. So as a case when any of the page or module get updated you should think the effect of that on all other pages even they are on different domains (In case of web testing).
Will keep on adding such practical cases as and when possible.

What should i do.?
Is this the right way to make my career in testing.??
Could you help to explain this content for me?
I mean give stress on the functional test cases which includes major risk of the application.
=> The word “give stress” here means the tester must try his/her best to create functional testcase? or must add testcases for testing stress of system with functional testcases?

“I was intrigued by your website because it seems you are truly passionate and interested in testing. In my organization, we’ve found that it’s really hard to keep the GOOD testers in testing. Many of the really skilled testers are always looking for change and want to get out of testing for some reason. I would love to hear if you have any ideas on how to keep the good testers in testing?”
It’s appraisal time! Many companies conduct periodic reviews to give feedback on performance to their employees and to assist employees in developing their career. This appraisal period may be of six months or one year depending on company policies. Performance appraisal is the right time to ask for your promotion as well as salary raise.

@ Naga Vishala – Actually application coverage should not be measured on number of test cases. The answer should be like this, you should possibly write the smallest set of test cases those will uncover all possible errors in application. You can measure coverage from all possible paths. You can say almost all test cases are covered when you are sure that your test cases combination is covering all the possible paths in the application.

HI all here is my suggestion, Testing is the carrer which should build with innovative thinking this comes with exp. My Experience Testcases, Testdata are the start up for u to get into process of knowning things i.e getting familier with the application but on the hole a testing with unknown data which is dynamic will really caught the application bugs. Freshers never worry how is it done u get to know when u are in. But to get in u should have Knowledge on what is testing and all the models in depth with manual testing concepts.

This is a very old school way of thinking. If you were following agile principles you would be testing throughout the sprint and the whole team would be responsible, not just the tester. Having the testers effectively acting as gatekeepers creates a divide within the team and promotes silos. Have a good user story with clear acceptance criteria means that testing can be done asd the code is being developed. If you are doing all the code before and then ‘throwing it over the wal’l to testers.

I do money testing every time after completing entire testing it gives confidence if I don’t find any bugs in this process 🙂
hello all,
This was a fun article, loved it .
Testing is my passion and i love my job.
Would you guys suggest some more tactics about how to break an application(web based) , with more bugs
hi dis is jagan present which computer course better. alredy i hav done oracle,testing tools. but i forgot some subject. so i need a some suggestions to me. pls can any one send me to my email id.
regards
jagan
I am very new to testing please if anybody could help me then what’s app ?? 9347950740
Like a mentor
Iam not able to understand what is this APACHE AND TOMCAT SERVER is all about..are they different ?
Some say they are not and they are called as webapplication servers.By the way do application server and web server reside on the same machine or in different machines.How they are configured.
How a application server contacts webserver or vice versa..again are they configured on differnet machines .I am totally confused please help me understand this.Respond me to this e mail with your answers norman_g40@yahoo.com
can you send me complete detail about “how we find bugs in an application” manually..my email id is dimpi.jaat@gmail.com
hi Vijay
I have read some articles from ur site,which were very helpful..thank u
Can u suggest how to create sufficient test data for test cases with an example and what are the various procedures followed in realtime for creating test data?
thank u
@Vishal
Try these very special charecters ????
cheers…
susan
Really awesome example which were presenting here and make people to recall whenever they are need.. I will saying that to one and all working on this website also thank you to posted good example to explaining to end user prospective..
Hi,
I am into storage domain and I am doing regression testing on various NAS products, my client always expects to find more and more bugs on daily basis. In regression its very difficult to find the bug. any other way so that find some bugs in the product.
Ya Debasis I agree , you can’t do anything without passion..
i am new in testing filed if there is any form to content and learn more i need a trainer.

Hello, i faced one question in the interview that was
How can you say that these many test cases are enough for the particular Object or Field?
can u plz tell me what should be the answer.
hi,
i am recently doing training in manual testing. Plz tell me how to find bugs ina wesite especially in e-commerce sites..plz help..my mail id is

What is difference between Performance Testing, Load Testing and Stress Testing?
1) Performance Testing:
What is performance testing?
Performance testing is the testing, which is performed, to ascertain how the components of a system are performing, given a particular situation. Resource usage, scalability and reliability of the product are also validated under this testing. This testing is the subset of performance engineering, which is focused on addressing performance issues in the design and architecture of software product.
Performance Testing Goal:
The primary goal of performance testing includes establishing the benchmark behaviour of the system. There are a number of industry-defined benchmarks, which should be met during performance testing.
Performance testing does not aim to find defects in the application, it address a little more critical task of testing the benchmark and standard set for the application. Accuracy and close monitoring of the performance and results of the test is the primary characteristic of performance testing.
Example:
For instance, you can test the application network performance on Connection Speed vs. Latency chart. Latency is the time difference between the data to reach from source to destination. Thus, a 70kb page would take not more than 15 seconds to load for a worst connection of 28.8kbps modem (latency=1000 milliseconds), while the page of same size would appear within 5 seconds, for the average connection of 256kbps DSL (latency=100 milliseconds). 1.5mbps T1 connection (latency=50 milliseconds) would have the performance benchmark set within 1 second to achieve this target.
For example, the time difference between the generation of request and acknowledgement of response should be in the range of x ms (milliseconds) and y ms, where x and y are standard digits. A successful performance testing should project most of the performance issues, which could be related to database, network, software, hardware etc…
?
2) Load Testing:
Load testing is meant to test the system by constantly and steadily increasing the load on the system till the time it reaches the threshold limit. It is the simplest form of testing which employs the use of automation tools such as LoadRunner or any other good tools, which are available. Load testing is also famous by the names like volume testing and endurance testing.
The sole purpose of load testing is to assign the system the largest job it could possible handle to test the endurance and monitoring the results. An interesting fact is that sometimes the system is fed with empty task to determine the behaviour of system in zero-load situation.
Load Testing Goal:
The goals of load testing are to expose the defects in application related to buffer overflow, memory leaks and mismanagement of memory. Another target of load testing is to determine the upper limit of all the components of application like database, hardware and network etc… so that it could manage the anticipated load in future. The issues that would eventually come out as the result of load testing may include load balancing problems, bandwidth issues, capacity of the existing system etc…
Example:
For example, to check the email functionality of an application, it could be flooded with 1000 users at a time. Now, 1000 users can fire the email transactions (read, send, delete, forward, reply) in many different ways. If we take one transaction per user per hour, then it would be 1000 transactions per hour. By simulating 10 transactions/user, we could load test the email server by occupying it with 10000 transactions/hour.
