A software engineer has an idea for a new, super-fast source code compiler. He and one of his
friends develop an initial version and post the source code online. Soon, other developers from
around the world join in and start evolving the software, adding new functionality, fixing bugs,
and adapting it to different environments. What kind of software process is being followed here?

The terms "error", "failure", and "fault" (listed here in alphabetical order) are given specific
definitions in
the textbook, and in lecture, to replace the more general term "bug." For the next three questions,
match
each term with its definition.
