No, a software regression is when you fix a specific problem and re-introduce it later on in a code revision. That's literally the definition of a regression bug. That definition has been around since the 70s and I don't think any of you have the designated rights or privileges to change or modify or append that definition.
- phaemon 9y agoNonsense. You don't have the designated rights or privileges to lock down the meaning of anything. The definition as I gave it was used in the 1975 edition of "The Mythical Man-Month". Is that good enough for you?
- lightedman 9y agoNope. The definition I gave comes from the original hackers from TMRC at MIT. As in, the people who also defined the term 'hack.' Which predates yours by about 20-ish years.
