Question

Some "mysterious" bugs occur once, and then they either never occur or occur after months or years. You are not able to reproduce them because you don't know why they happen. Is there a technical name for such bugs?

Was it helpful?

Solution

This kind of bug is usually referred to as a Heisenbug.
