Terms for Software Failures
Depending on where you're employed as a software tester, you will use different terms to describe what happens when software fails. Here are a few:
| Defect | Variance |
| Fault | Failure |
| Problem | Inconsistency |
| Error | Feature |
| Incident | Bug |
| Anomaly |
(There's also a list of unmentionable terms, but they're most often used privately among programmers.)
