slipshod
Explanation:
Example:
Like most PC games in this age of lazy, slipshod programming, ****** has been patched repeatedly.

So, for 'umumnya disebabkan oleh program yang dibuat asal-asalan' you might put 'in the main caused by programs being written without due care' -- or '... caused by slipshod programming'.

poor quality


Explanation:
so,
'(program) yang dibuat asal-asalan' = '(program) made with a poor quality'
This expression, assume, is better than 'poor program' nor 'poor-quality program'.

'poor' bring both 'bad' and 'terrible' meaning in it.
