There’s An Awful Lot Of Slang About Bugs In There

e-week offers a slideshow of current software development slang.

Personally, I take the number of definitions that relate to bugs and lack of quality as a metric indicating how bad software code is in the industry today.

As if I needed further evidence than actually using software on a daily basis, not including the stuff I test.

    I’ve never heard any of that slang.

    It that a good thing, or a bad thing? Am I just too far behind the times? Must I tweet to stay in the loop?

    As Ray Chandler used to say, any slang you use sounds dated unless you make it up yourself.

    I paraphrased that.

    I haven’t heard any of them, either, but I work outside a regular office environment, so I thought it might just be me. Maybe developers use these terms in those meetings they don’t invite QA to, or the person who put this slideshow together worked from a very small sample size of his colleagues.
