RE: Define Bug Life Cycle?What is Metrics

When we find out the bug we will put into the open status. After fixing the bug developer change the status as fixed . Again we will test the fixed part if there is no bug change the bug status as Closed other wise change the bug status as Reopen .

A s/w metric defines the a standard method of measuring certain attributes of the process or the product or the service.

RE: Define Bug Life Cycle?What is Metrics

Bug Life Cycle - When error goof glitch or bug has been identified in the software going under test. The defect should be reported to the log file manually or to the automated management tool. Once this has been submitted to the system. Based on the severity level of the defect it can be fix by its priority level. It should assign back to the developer for fixes. Once it fixed this should be retested again to make sure the error is not reproduce able.

Metrics - Metrics is a tool that can be use to track progress of the testin life cycle. Metrics allow to keep track of the test development test execution and test restults. It keeps aware management and tester of the testing progress.

Bug life cycle begins when the bug is found by the tester and it will send to the developer developer fix the bug after fixing the bug he will resend to tester tester test the bug again if the bug is fixed it will be closed if not it will reopen and again he will send the bug to the developer .That is the Bug life cycle.

RE: Define Bug Life Cycle?What is Metrics

Whenever I find a bug I would check it 3 or 4 times before logging it as a bug. I use Test Director as a bug tracking tool. If I find a bug I would log that bug and attach the snap shots of it and also information like where it occurred under what circumstances and the test data given and then send it to the developer. Then the status of the bug will be given as NEW. When the developer sees it he would change the status to OPEN which means he is working on fixing the bug. Once the bug is fixed he would change the status to FIXED. And I would test the application again by doing regression testing. If I am satisfied I would close the bug and the new status of the bug will be CLOSED. If I am not satisfied I would re-open the bug and here the status will be RE-OPEN.
