What does the term day-one-bug mean

bugterminology

I came across this term recently in a mail chain. Google tells me there is a term zero-day bug and that Microsoft and Adobe are the frontrunners 🙂

Is there such a term as day one bug? What might that mean?

Best Answer

A day-one bug is a defect that is not a regression. The defect was there from day one when the feature was implemented. It is used to argue that a defect is low priority, because it has been shipped in previous releases without many complaints from customers.
