Defect life cycle is Finding defect, Reporting, Assigning, Coding, ReTesting, and Closing the defect if the defect is not shown. Otherwise it should reopen.Defect Revalidation Cycle means, ReTesting->Find out the same defect. Simply its comes underdefect life cycle.I think, i answed your question !!!

Defect Life Cycle : when the defect was found by tester, he assigned that bug as NEW status. Then Test Lead Analysis that bug and assign to developer OPEN status. Developer fix the bug FIX status. Then tester again test the new build if the same error occurs or not... if no means CLOSED status. Defect Life Cycle -> NEW -> OPEN -> FIX -> CLOSED Revalidation cycle means test the new version or new build have the same defect by executing the same testcases. simply like regression testing.
