The bug which occurs on one build/event and then it is not seen in another build/event is called intermittent bug. Mostly this happens due to the calls made by the system is not consistant.These kind of bugs are very closely watched and then we need to put lot of efforts in reproducing these.
Example: You are having the embeded system which send the message to the server/dll when you so specific business function. Now when this business function is executed it triggers some other activity and that does not happen every time. Sometime it happens and sometime it does not do anything. This can be for several reasons like comm channel, message queue etc. So we need to put trace logs at the code level to identify these kind of issues.
Hope this helps |
