Abstract :
This paper relates Mandelbugs and Bohrbugs to the problem of exhaustive testing. A Bohrbug is only related to the set of input data whereas a Mandelbug depends on the input data and the interaction of this data with the state of the system (computer storage). A simple Mandelbug example is given. The paper concludes with a speculation that unintended auto acceleration may be due to a Mandelbug.
