Tester-driven development, or bug-driven development is an anti-pattern where the requirements are determined by bug reports or test results rather than for example the value or cost of a feature.

It is distinct from but vaguely related to misuse of Test-driven development. In test driven development tests are used to drive the implementation towards an fulfilling the requirements. In tester-driven development instead shortcuts the process by removing the determination of requirements.
