A deviation from the expectaion is called a Bug, every deviation is need not be a bug, it can be a Limitaion, 3rd party

  Was this answer useful?  Yes

Bug is an error found before the application goes into production.An error is an undesirable deviation from the requirements.Defect is an error found after the application goes into production.There is a lot of debate going on between a defect and a bug.In some companies a defect and a bug are treated as the same.In some companies these both terms are treated as different.According to me a bug occurs while performing white box testing .A defect occurs in black box testing.But i dont know what is the term that should be used when any deviation between expected and actual occurs while performing grey box testing.

A bug is an error, flaw, mistake, failure or fault in a computer code (program) that prevents it from behaving an intended. When the expected result don't match with the actual results, then it is considered a bug.

Bug is nothing but, while executing a test case if we found any unexpected result which is not matching to expected result.

This is as per Tester view

If a developer is performing the unit testing, if he founds any unexpected result that deviates from his actual code which he developed, its called Error.
