If there's a problem in the software but no one ever discovers it, not programmers, not testers, and not even a single customer. Is it a bug?

Definitely its a bug. No software can be bugfree. Testing can only show the presence of bugs but not their absence.

yes. It is a bug. because of dead lines or some other pressures sometimes somee bugs gone scott free right under our nose.We can't say that software is bug free.

Hi Jainbrijesh,
If testers, programmers, custormers doesn't find a problem with application then that's not a bug. why because, If u find a problem that's a bug. if nobody raise bug how would we know, there is a bug in the application.
Generally test engineers are like customers or users of the application. We have to verify the application in that aspect. Ofcourse, we have more knowledge about the application (DB, Servers, UI everything).

Its not a bug, if any one doesn't know that there is a bug then how they will tell that bug did not discovered,hence its not a bug...
