What can be the effect of software defects or bugs?
Clearly, software bugs can hit your company as hard as they hit your users. Reputational damage is just another cost to fix with positive PR and reimbursing customers. According to Parasoft, the day a company announces a software glitch publically, they lose an average of $2.3 billion of shareholder value.

What happens if there are no bugs in the test?
If the customers find bugs that should have been detected in the Test/QA stage, then your testing is faulty. If there are NO bugs, then you can’t find them.
How should a software tester deal with missed defects?
When a developer is given a task to develop a feature, this developer will produce a tangible result, e.g. a clickable button. But when a tester is given a task to test a feature, it is very difficult to tell how much result we can get from this tester’s work.
What does it mean when you find a large number of bugs?
If you find a large number of bugs, is that because you are that awesome or your developers are that bad. Or in your situation, if testing does not find bugs, is that because testing is bad (not in your case) or your developers are that good (sounds like your case).
Why do people die because there are bugs in software?
If people will die because there are bugs in the software then that kind of cost makes sense. Most projects simply cannot afford the same level of testing as NASA. The important thing is to start measuring the defect density and graph it over time. Find out how many lines of code were added/changed for a release.
