A single piece of software can have hundreds of thousands of lines of computer code. Humans are not perfect - therefore it is possible to miss some errors.

It also takes a lot of time to trawl through each line of code searching for one or two errors. The best solution - is to release the software (so the company gets income from the sales) and release a 'patch' to fix the errors once they're found.

As an example - a person checking 100,000 lines of code - would take over 410 hours to check each line - at an average rate of 15 seconds per line !

Why cant we find all errors before we give the software to our customers?

It's often impossible to find all errors before releasing software due to the complexity of code, the diverse environments in which it operates, and the variability in user interactions. Testing can only cover a finite set of scenarios, and unforeseen issues may arise in real-world usage that were not anticipated during development. Additionally, time constraints and resource limitations often prevent exhaustive testing. As a result, some bugs may only be discovered after deployment, necessitating ongoing maintenance and updates.
