 It worked yesterday. |
 This is designed according to specification. |
 This is a good fix. |
 It will work this way. |
 Here you go. |
 It will work until the next release. |
 It must be a hardware problem. |
 I did my best. |

Software Defect. The difference between the functional specification (including user documentation) and actual program text (source code and data). Often reported as problem and stored in defect-tracking and problem-management system
Software Defect. Also called a fault or a bug, a defect is an incorrect part of code that is caused by an error. An error of commission causes a defect of wrong or extra code. An error of omission results in a defect of missing code. A defect may cause one or more failures.[Robert M. Poston, 1996.]
Software Defect. A flaw in the software with potential to cause a failure.. [Systematic Software Testing by Rick D. Craig and Stefan P. Jaskiel 2002]
Software Defect Age. A measurement that describes the period of time from the introduction of a defect until its discovery. . [Systematic Software Testing by Rick D. Craig and Stefan P. Jaskiel 2002]
Software Defect Density. A metric that compares the number of defects to a measure of size (e.g., defects per KLOC). Often used as a measure of defect quality. [Systematic Software Testing by Rick D. Craig and Stefan P. Jaskiel 2002]
Software Defect Discovery Rate. A metric describing the number of defects discovered over a specified period of time, usually displayed in graphical form. [Systematic Software Testing by Rick D. Craig and Stefan P. Jaskiel 2002]
Software Defect Removal Efficiency (DRE). A measure of the number of defects discovered in an activity versus the number that could have been found. Often used as a measure of test effectiveness. [Systematic Software Testing by Rick D. Craig and Stefan P. Jaskiel 2002]
Software Defect Seeding. The process of intentionally adding known defects to those already in a computer program for the purpose of monitoring the rate of detection and removal, and estimating the number of defects still remaining. Also called Error Seeding. [Systematic Software Testing by Rick D. Craig and Stefan P. Jaskiel 2002]
Software Defect Masked. An existing defect that hasn't yet caused a failure because another defect has prevented that part of the code from being executed. [Systematic Software Testing by Rick D. Craig and Stefan P. Jaskiel 2002]
