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 tongue-in-cheek reference to [Test-driven development]], a widely use methodology in Agile software practices. In test driven development tests are used to drive the implementation towards fulfilling the requirements. Tester-driven development instead shortcuts the process by removing the determination of requirements.
