You can't teach an old dog new tricks.
During 25+ years as a professional software engineer across two dozen teams and projects, the words "bug" and "defect" were used interchangeably and meant the same thing. Lately, our scrum gods have insisted on specific and appropriate usage of these terms. It turns out that "bug" applies to a defect in the UAT environment, while "defect" is a bug in production. Pun intended.
Being a bit curious I googled the subject and one of the results provided the following definitions:
- "A bug is a problem in the software that causes it to behave unexpectedly or incorrectly."
- "A defect is a deviation from the expected behavior or requirement of the software."
Pardon my ignorance, but I can't grok the difference between unexpected behavior and a deviation from the expected one. It sounds like someone needed to elevate their expertise level above coding plebs by generating meaningless content.
Some things ought to remain as is.
