Bug

Computers have been around much longer than you think. Charles Babbage is credited with creating the first mechanical computer in 1822. The first electronic computer was built in 1942 by John Atanasoff and Clifford Berry. Even in the early days, people did software testing, but not in the way you would see today due to the primitive level of technology. Those programming the computer would review their code, an early form of debugging or reviewing for errors. It was in the 1950s, as computing power grew, that IBM formed the first dedicated testing team. And it was right around that time that the term "bug" was coined: a computer scientist named Grace Hopper recorded a ‘bug being found’ in the Harvard II computer in 1947. In actual fact, a moth got stuck in a relay inside the machine, but a defect was recorded, and the term "bug" is used to this day. When you hear news stories about issues caused by software failures, glitches, anomalies, crashes, incidents or faults… these are all "bugs."
