Mandelbug

In data-processing programming, a mandelbug is a bug whose causes are so complex that its behavior appears chaotic; it remains it as much as the tester does not manage to precisely establish a deterministic behavior of appearance of the bug. The use of this term also means that it is more probably a Bohr bug than a Heisenbug.

One can advance, according to the same principle as that of the Test of Turing, than if it is possible no to judge if the behavior of a bug appears only chaotic or is really chaotic, then it does not have there relevance in the distinction between a Bohr bug and a heisenbug , since one cannot determine them.

Etymology

The word is resulting from the fusion of “Mandelbrot”, name of the inventor of the Fractale S variables, and of “bug”, bug.
