The interviewer will ask this question to see if you will admit when you make a mistake and take measures to correct it. If you do not do your job correctly and fix an error when one happens, it shows that you do not take pride in your work and will take shortcuts. The company does not want to hire someone who does shoddy work that could cause problems down the road for the customer.
