BF Taxons API
Irena Bojanova, Inventor/Creator, PI & Lead, NIST Bugs Framework (BF), 2014 – ~~~ #

The current BF Taxonomy comprizes the BF Input/Output Check (_INP), Memory Corruption/Disclosure (_MEM), and Data Type (_DAT) Class Types and the BF Failure (_FLR) Class Type.

The BF Taxons APP/API queries the BF Taxonomy and generates the BF Taxon Definitions.
