Can't Reproduce
Verb Phrase · Slang & Abbreviations
Definitions
A familiar phrase in bug triage meaning the reported issue does not appear under current test conditions. In developer slang, it can be either a legitimate status or a frustrating way of saying the environment mismatch still has not been understood.
In plain English: A status meaning the team cannot make the reported bug happen.
Example: "Support kept marking the issue as can't reproduce until someone finally tested with the customer's locale, browser extension set, and stale cached config."
