Software bug
A software bug is a design defect (bug) in computer software. A computer program with many or serious bugs may be described as buggy.
The effects of a software bug range from minor (such as a misspelled word in the user interface) to severe (such as frequent crashing).
In 2002, a study commissioned by the US Department of Commerce's National Institute of Standards and Technology concluded that "software bugs, or errors, are so prevalent and so detrimental that they cost the US economy an estimated $59 billion annually, or about 0.6 percent of the gross domestic product".
Since the 1950s, some computer systems have been designed to detect or auto-correct various software errors during operations.
Mistake metamorphism (from Greek meta = "change", morph = "form") refers to the evolution of a defect in the final stage of software deployment. Transformation of a mistake committed by an analyst in the early stages of the software development lifecycle, which leads to a defect in the final stage of the cycle has been called mistake metamorphism.
Different stages of a mistake in the development cycle may be described as mistake,anomaly, fault, failure, error, exception, crash, glitch, bug, defect, incident, or side effect.
Software bugs have been linked to disasters.
Sometimes the use of bug to describe the behavior of software is contentious due to perception. Some suggest that the term should be abandoned; contending that bug implies that the defect arose on its own and push to use defect instead since it more clearly indicates they are caused by a human.
