What is Bug?

An error or flaw in software that causes it to behave unexpectedly

Why It Matters

Bugs can range from minor annoyances to serious security vulnerabilities that need immediate fixing

Real-World Example

A form that crashes when you enter an emoji in the name field

“Understanding terms like Bug matters because it helps you have better conversations with developers and make smarter decisions about your software. You do not need to be technical. You just need to know enough to ask the right questions.”

Callum Holt, Founder, 13Labs
