    Abstract
    Software bugs and security vulnerabilities are becoming more and more common, yet the question still remains, "What is a bug?". In this paper, we present a definition of a software bug. Once a base definition is defined, we build more structure around the definition, including program levels, bug classes, and error types. Afterwards, we apply our new bug classification system to the DARPA Cyber Grand Challenge (CGC) programs in order to assess the diversity of the bugs in the set of programs. Based on the analysis, the bugs in the CGC programs are not diverse. This makes the set of CGC programs ineffective at simulating real world program bugs.;
