RE: what do mean by bug tracking?give example?
 
Bug Tracking is the process/series of steps followed from the time a bug is found, fixed and closed. The steps followed are

1. As soon as the bug is found it's entered in defect tracking system and assigned the status "New"
2. Once it's been analysed and accepted as a genuine defect, the status is changed to "Open" . If the bug is found to be invalid the status is changed to "Reject"
3. It's then assigned to a developer and status is changed to "Assigned To"
4. Once it's fixed by developer status changes to "Fixed/Ready to test".
5. Tester then re-test the fix and if fix works fine, he/she sets the status to "Closed". If the fix doesn't work it's changed to "Re-open".
6. In some cases, if the bug is a major fix then it's postponed to future releases in which case the status is changed to "Deferred" and considered for future release.
