1. Syntax Errors
– What: Typos or grammatical mistakes in your code
– Impact: Prevent your program from running
– Good news: Often caught early by compilers and interpreters
2. Logic Errors
– What: Code produces incorrect results despite running
– Impact: Program behaves unexpectedly
– Solution: Careful code review and thorough testing
3. Runtime Errors
– What: Errors that occur during program execution
– Impact: Program crashes or produces unexpected results
– Approach: Use debugging tools to identify and fix
4. Semantic Errors
– What: Code is syntactically correct but behaves differently than intended
– Impact: Unexpected program behavior
– Cause: Logic mistakes or failing to consider all cases
5. Compilation Errors
– What: Errors that prevent successful code compilation
– Impact: Program cannot be built or run
– Possible causes: Code errors or issues with compiler/development environment
6. Performance Bugs
– What: Issues that slow down program execution
– Impact: Poor user experience due to slow performance
– Solution: Optimize code and algorithms
7. Security Bugs
– What: Vulnerabilities that could be exploited
– Impact: Potential data breaches or unauthorized access
– Approach: Implement secure coding practices and regular security audits
8. Concurrency Bugs
– What: Issues in multithreaded programs
– Impact: Unexpected behavior in parallel processing
– Solution: Careful management of thread interactions
9. Resource Bugs
– What: Mismanagement of system resources (e.g., memory, files)
– Impact: Program crashes or system slowdowns
– Approach: Proper resource allocation and deallocation
10. Compatibility Bugs
– What: Program incompatibility with certain systems or configurations
– Impact: Limited usability across different environments
– Solution: Thorough testing on various platforms
11. Usability Bugs
– What: Issues that make the program difficult to use
– Impact: Poor user experience
– Approach: User testing and interface design improvements
12. Communication Bugs
– What: Issues in data exchange between program components or external systems
– Impact: Incorrect data flow or program behavior
– Solution: Ensure proper API usage and data validation
13. Data Bugs
– What: Incorrect data manipulation or corruption
– Impact: Incorrect program output or data loss
– Approach: Implement data validation and error checking
14. Configuration Bugs
– What: Issues arising from incorrect program settings
– Impact: Unexpected program behavior
– Solution: Thorough testing of configuration options
15. Integration Bugs
– What: Issues that arise when combining different parts of a system
– Impact: Unexpected behavior in the overall system
– Approach: Comprehensive integration testing
