What is Bug Leakage?

Showing Answers 1 - 18 of 18 Answers

The context leak seems to stem from a bug handling driver_operations. In this particular case, it is a write operation synthesized from a handle_cntl. In the callback for the write, globus_xio_driver_operation_destroy() is called, but the reference count for the context is not decremented because the operation's reference count is not 0 (the outstanding reference is the write callback which hasn't returned yet).

In the context of Black Box testing, a bug/defect leakage results when a bug is  detected which should have been detected in earlier builds/versions of the application. 
A defect which exists during testing ,yet,unfound by the tester,whch is eventually found by the tester/end-user is also called defect leakage..

To give a simplest example, assume that you are doing second round of testing and you found a defect which should have been discoverd during the first
round of testing itself. Such defects are termed as "leaked defects''. If the defect is  cosmetic, such as a spelling mistake, it would not cause any impact on the application but if the defect is a critical one relating to functionality of the applicaiton, it will have serious implications on the whole application.

A couple of reasons which causes defect leakage:

1. Incompleteness of testcases (The test case doesnt have the condition related to that functionality).
2. Improper or incomplete understanding of the application.

Can any more points be added?

Thanks,
Siva
