Today again I came with another Jargon of software industry. People are using this very frequently. In IT industry, WAD stands for Works As Designed.

If someone raised a Defect but the developer found that it does not require any change and working good as per the Design Document, its called as WAD.

Some other abbreviation of WAD -

1. Weapons Alert Designator


2. Where's all the data

4. Win A Date


5. Whiplash Associated Disorders


6. West African Development


7. War Allocation Daemon ( Doom, Doom2)

I am a software developer but now a days spending lots of time on testing also. Because my team is having lots of testing work pending and we are having very few development work. While doing testing I encountered with lots of Jargons which is related to testing. Since I am a developer and always playing with the codes so my approach is always like a developer and it doesn't matter that what I am doing. Either it is development work or it is a testing. Just now I found one defect which is raised by one person XYZ. But when I checked that defect, I found that it is not a defect. As per Mr.XYZ that behaviour of the software is a Bug, but as per me it is just a property of the software. I talked about this to my project lead and he suggested me to send a mail to the Bug owner Mr.XYZ that this is NAB. I asked him what does it stand for? And he replied "Not a Bug".

After sometime I was busy with some other things and forgot the full form of NAB and I thought I'll search it on google. While searching it on google I found lots of full form of NAB which is really hilarious.. :D

Lets check out some funny acronym of NAB.
