Abstract: Abstract Software systems are the means developed and designed by humans for automated operation of several types of real operating systems meant for human kind. Even though the creator of software systems is the universe most dominant and intelligent creature in the universe we cannot deny the possibility of software failures during their operation period. These failures are mainly due to faults manifested in them by their designers. Primarily testing of software is performed with a goal to detect and remove most of the underlying faults. Even though the software testing and debugging team put its best efforts, uses distinct methods and techniques or the developers makes heavy expenditure on testing and debugging latest, well planed and controlled strategies, we cannot be sure that the software can be made free of all type of faults at the time of its launch.
