The term "bug" in the meaning of technical error dates back at least to 1878 and Thomas Edison, and "debugging" seems to have been used as a term in aeronautics from 1945, in the context of repairing aircraft engines.

It was not applied to computers until September 9, 1947 when a moth was found smashed in a relay of the Harvard Mark III electromechanical computer. Obviously this was (like all previous usage of the terms) a hardware problem, not a software problem (as the terms are now used).
