A study on Stages of Defects Injection and possible methods of their avoidance in E-commerce Web Sites

ABSTRACT E-Commerce portal development includes a number of integrations like Vendor Information, Buyer Information and Authentication, Inventory, Payment Gateways, Delivery Logistics etc., hence it becomes very important to minimize defects at the end of each phase of developmental activity. Broadly the developmental activities include Requirement Development, Design, Coding and Testing. The methodology to develop the software that is considered is Iterative Rational Unified Process (RUP). This paper is an effort to look at the origin of defects in different stages of the software cycle and the possible avoidance methods in E-Commerce sites.
