    Or read The Daily WTF: Curious Perversions in Information Technology and be suprised that there is any software slightly working at all.

    Obviously the question is very general, but dependency problems are one common reason for software builds to fail.

    Some more reasons are:
    - Feature Creep
    - Moving Requirements
    - Politics
    - More Dev's makes projects slower (each member doubles the possible communication channels)
    - Cutting corners for short term victories
    - no docu
    - no testing/verification while development (TDD)
    - personal flavor
    Do you need more reasons?

      The question seems pretty general; what do you mean by the word fail?

    maybe the software has not been programmed with thought and not tested well on various devices. but there are 10000 reasons why!

    Do you not think these type of questions are just here to garner post counts ?

    They are very vague questions and most of which can be learned by a simple google search
