bug hunters
Insect elimination professionals
Bug hunters are people who search for errors or defects in software, systems, or code.
In computing, they may work as security researchers finding vulnerabilities, or as testers identifying glitches before release.
Many tech companies run bug bounty programs that pay bug hunters for discovering flaws.
The term occasionally extends to entomologists or pest control professionals who hunt actual insects.
