* '''<u>Bug:</u>''' ''A software defect or error, that can inconvenience the user. Also can be known as a "glitch".''
* '''<u>Build:</u>''' ''The 'version' that VRChat's software is running. Identifying a build number is crucial to identifying "when" the bug took place, within VRChat's constant line-up of updates. Please write the build number in your bug report. Open Beta uses a different build number than the 'Live' client build.''
* '''<u>Canny:</u>''' ''The service that VRChat utilizes to manage their feedback. "Post it on Canny" refers to feedback.vrchat.com.''
* <u>'''Debug menus'''</u>: ''There are various [[Debug Menu|menus for debugging]] for advanced users, including the Debug UI which can be opened within the Settings tab of the [[Quick Menu]].''
* '''<u>Hitching:</u>''' ''An abrupt 'lag spike', or freezing momentarily when triggered by VRChat trying to process an action. Such as "VRChat hitches and lags when I open the menu, or change into another avatar".''
* '''<u>Log files:</u>''' ''A text document that is generated locally on your device, as VRChat is being used. This provides useful information to the development team, as to which code might be triggering the bug.''
* '''<u>Reproduction:</u>''' ''Also known as 'repro'. Is the ability to trigger the bug on demand, by performing an action, or a series of actions. Example: "Opening the menu triggers and reproduces the bug."''
