What (who) is mandelbug - definition

SOFTWARE BUG THAT SEEMS TO DISAPPEAR OR ALTER ITS BEHAVIOR WHEN ONE ATTEMPTS TO STUDY IT

Heisenbug (bug); Bohr bug; Mandelbug; Schroedinbug; Schrödinbug; Heisenberg bug; Unusual software bugs; Hindenbug; Bohrbug; Fermat bug; Phase of the moon bug; Ghosts in the code; Schrodinbug; Heisenbugs; Enderbug; Alpha particle bug; Unusual software bug; Schrödingbug; Schrodingbug; Higgs-bugson

mandelbug

<jargon, programming> /man'del-buhg/ (From the {Mandelbrot set}) A bug whose underlying causes are so complex and obscure as to make its behaviour appear chaotic or even nondeterministic. This term implies that the speaker thinks it is a Bohr bug, rather than a heisenbug. See also schroedinbug. [Jargon File] (1995-02-08)

Bohr bug

<jargon, programming> /bohr buhg/ (From Quantum physics) A repeatable bug; one that manifests reliably under a possibly unknown but well-defined set of conditions. Compare heisenbug. See also mandelbug, schroedinbug. [Jargon File] (1995-02-28)

Heisenbug

In computer programming jargon, a heisenbug is a software bug that seems to disappear or alter its behavior when one attempts to study it. The term is a pun on the name of Werner Heisenberg, the physicist who first asserted the observer effect of quantum mechanics, which states that the act of observing a system inevitably alters its state.

Heisenbug

In computer programming jargon, a heisenbug is a software bug that seems to disappear or alter its behavior when one attempts to study it. The term is a pun on the name of Werner Heisenberg, the physicist who first asserted the observer effect of quantum mechanics, which states that the act of observing a system inevitably alters its state. In electronics, the traditional term is probe effect, where attaching a test probe to a device changes its behavior.

Similar terms, such as bohrbug, mandelbug, hindenbug, and schrödinbug (see the section on related terms) have been occasionally proposed for other kinds of unusual software bugs, sometimes in jest.
