  High-quality software products rely on both well-written source code and
timely detection and thorough reporting of bugs. However, some programmers view
bug reports as negative assessments of their work, leading them to withhold
reporting bugs, thereby detrimentally impacting projects. Through a survey of
102 programmers, we discovered that only a third of them perceive the quantity
of bugs found and rectified in a repository as indicative of higher quality.
This finding substantiates the notion that programmers often misinterpret the
significance of testing and bug reporting.
