RE: Report the Bug
 
Once a Bug is discovered during testing, The Bug is in the new state .
1. The details of the Bug are entered in the defect tracking tool. (details here refers like steps involved in  reproducing the Bug, build details and error logs if any.) Bug details entered in the defect tracking tool will help the developer to reproduce the bug and providing quick fix to the bug. This state of the Bug is referred to as "OPEN".
2. The developer now starts working on the BUG and fixes the same. Once the Bug is resolved. it is in "Fixed" state.
3. The Tester now proceeds ahead to retest/ reproduce the Bug. Now, If the Bug is no more observed during testing, then it is declared as "CLOSED" state.
4. if the same Bug is reported  by one or many testers, then this state of Bug is refferred to as "Duplicate".
