Quality Code Short Tip #1 – Say “Defects” not “Bugs”

I wanted to start a short tips series for improving code and application quality, each post will be 1 to few sentences with a tip.

First tip:

Say “Defects”, not “Bugs”

For me, the word “bug” sounds as “something not so important that is in the nature of the application”, which at least it isn’t true! when the application doesn’t do what it should (or do it wrong, or crash etc) it is a Defect in our application. It is hard because we are so naturally says it, but we should start to change our terminology for better software!
