bug hunting
Tracking software errors
Bug hunting is the practice of searching for errors or flaws in software, systems, or code.
Programmers debug their own work, but bug hunting often refers to deliberate efforts by security researchers or testers to find vulnerabilities: She makes good money bug hunting for tech companies.
Many companies run bug bounty programs that pay hunters for discoveries.
The term also applies to searching for actual insects, particularly by entomologists or hobbyists collecting specimens.
