Definition: In computer technology, a bug is a coding error in a computer program. After a product is released or during public beta testing, bugs are still apt to be discovered. When this occurs, users have to either find a way to avoid using the “buggy” code or get a patch from the originators of the code.
Also Known As: flaw, vulnerability.
Editor-in-Chief at TechSpective
I have a passion for technology and gadgets and a desire to help others understand how technology can affect or improve their lives. I also love spending time with my wife, 7 kids, 3 dogs, 5 cats, a pot-bellied pig, and sulcata tortoise, and I like to think I enjoy reading and golf even though I never find time for either.
