Bug

Definition

Something that does not work as expected or specified.

In Plain English

A bug is like a typo in a contract—it might be small, but it can cause big problems.

Real-World Example

The checkout button not working on mobile, or the wrong price showing, are bugs.

Why It Matters for Your Work

Bugs affect user experience, conversions, and trust. Fixing bugs is part of software reality.

Common Mistake

Not documenting bugs clearly. "It is broken" is not helpful. "The submit button does not work on Safari mobile" is.
