The process of intentionally adding known defects to those already in the component or system for the purpose of monitoring the rate of detection and removal, and estimating the number of remaining defects.

Bug seeding is the intentional addition of defects to a program and is intended to determine the extent and rate that defects are discovered throughout the testing process.  For example, if a hundred defects are deliberately seeded evenly throughout a program and only 75 percent of them are discovered by the test team, then test management can assume 25 percent of the original defects have likely not be discovered as well.  This may also indicate to management what modules did not get enough attention during the test run.  Of course, once this exercise is complete, the code is restored to eliminate the seeded defects.
