Common Software Errors

I thought it would be useful to put up a list of the common errors in software which can be an useful aid for identifying errors while testing.

Common Error types

• User Interface Errors
• Error Handling
• Boundary related errors
• Calculation errors
• Initial and Later states
• Control flow errors
• Errors in Handling or Interpreting Data
• Race Conditions
• Load Conditions
• Hardware
• Source, Version and ID Control
• Testing Errors

You might want to refer to the title, Testing Computer Software (Wiley) for more details on this subject. I'll try to provide additional information on these error types in subsequent posts.
