Why is testing necessary? give examples where a defect in software can cause harm to human life, environment or business.
Answers
Testing is necessary in order to identify any defects that are present in software which can cause harm. Without proper testing, we could potentially release a software which could malfunction and cause serious injuries.
Examples can be:

Software in a life support machine which can cause serious harm to a patient;
Software in a nuclear plant which monitors nuclear activity can cause harm to the environment
Banking or financial application which calculates exchange rates can cause financial loss to a business   Your Comment
