"Definition of a Bug"

[Ahmad_Hassan]

Once a group of programmers in our office were having general discussion, and some how we srtarted discussing different type of bugs. One of my friend said ... "You know what is a bug ... A bug is something a programmer denies that exists in his code. If he accepts it, its a constraint! " And we all burst into laughter.:laugh:

We call them as 'Limitation' of the current version or brand it as 'Feature Request' or 'As Per Design' or as the case may appropriate. Origin of bug from Charles Babbage times: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_bug[^]

All bugs are features :suss: Some features may be removed from the system in successive versions :jig:

There was a guy I worked with who would put on a deer-in-the-headlights look and say, "Ohhhh, that's a bug", when presented with unintended behaviour.
