Happy Tester’s Day!

Valerie Andrianova

On September, 9 1945 the scientists of the Harvard University while testing the computer Mark II Aiken Relay Calculator have found a moth which has got stuck between the contacts of the electromechanical relay. The work they performed required some description, and the word has been found – «debugging» (literally: disposal of an insect) – and nowadays it is used to describe the process of identifying and eliminating bugs which cause a computer to malfunction.
The removed insect was pasted into the computer log with the entry: “First actual case of bug being found”, and was then transferred to the computer museum.


Celebrate this wonderful day by submitting your first BUG into YouTrack if you haven’t done it yet, or download YouTrack and file the first issue to your own bug tracker!
