In software engineering, mistake metamorphism (from Greek meta = "change", morph = "form") refers to the evolution of a defect in the final stage of software deployment. Transformation of a "mistake" committed by an analyst in the early stages of the software development lifecycle, which leads to a "defect" in the final stage of the cycle has been called 'mistake metamorphism'.
Different stages of a "mistake" in the entire cycle may be described by using the following terms:
- Mistake
- Anomaly
- Fault
- Failure
- Error
- Exception
- Crash
- Bug
- Defect
- Incident
- Side Effect
