Bugfix

/ˈbʌɡfɪks/ noun

Definition

A code change that corrects a defect or error in software functionality. Unlike feature development, bugfixes restore intended behavior rather than adding new capabilities.

Etymology

Compound of 'bug' (from Admiral Grace Hopper's 1947 computer moth incident, though 'bug' meaning 'defect' existed earlier) and 'fix' from Latin 'fixus.' The combined term became standard in programming culture by the 1970s.

Kelly Says

The first computer 'bug' was literally a bug—a moth trapped in Harvard's Mark II computer in 1947! Grace Hopper's team taped it into their logbook with the note 'First actual case of bug being found,' creating both the term and the tradition of meticulous debugging documentation.
