35. An ordered set of instructions that are used to carry out a task.
37. An action or occurrence that happens during runtime that will trigger a response or behavior by the software.
38. The stage of game development where a limited number of players test out the completed features and navigation, and report any bugs that need to be fixed before the gold release.
40. A line of code that assigns a value to a variable.
41. A flaw in a computer program that causes the program to produce an incorrect result or behavior.
42. An incorrect result produced by a computer program.
44. A type of software application designed to run on a mobile device, such as a smartphone or tablet computer.
