Hi,

What are terms/slangs used to describe the act of solving a bug?

e.g. squashed the bug

Others?

+4  A: 

We use the term 'resolved'.

Joel Cunningham

Finding it is "debugging", and applying what you found is "fixing".

I.e. "I debugged it" and "I fixed it".

What else is there that I'm missing? "I nailed that sucker"?

Rooted out the little bugger.

"I turned the tests green" usually preceeded by "We added the missing tests".

FOR
+2  A: 

Disinfecting.

MusiGenesis

stomped
squashed
removed
exterminated
bashed

and many more euphemisms attempting to make programming sound exciting and dangerous ;-)

Steven A. Lowe
A: 

Someone "finds/hits" an issue and "reports" it. Then the test or the dev owner "investigates/confirms/reproes" the issue to. Then the dev "debugs" the issue and once the cause is understood, the dev "fixes/resolves" it.

Fed it to the dog.

I like to say that I've informed marketing that we have a new feature.
