When I see a defect in the application in the testing process I go to the Defects

Tab and click on Add Defect button and enter the details of the defect and attach

any snapshots of the defect and close it. The status ?New? will be assigned to

that defect. I can mail that defect to the concerned developer from TestDirector

or ask the developer to take a look at the defect in TestDirector. Developer after

seeing the defect can change the status to ?Open? which means he/she is

working on fixing it. When the fixing is done, the developer can change the status

to ?Fixed?. When developer feels it not required to fix at that moment he changes the status as DIFFERED. I can then retest the defect after the fresh build of the application and if found satisfied I can ?Close? the defect or ?Reopen? it if I am not satisfied or the defect is not fixed.

The developer has the right to ?Reject? the defect with proper reason attached to

it if he/she thinks that it is not a defect.

Hi

Its a big misconception that Developer will change the status of bug. Only Project Manager will decide which bug has to be given 'Deffered' satus and should be fixed later on if required.

1.      When a Tester posts a Bug for a particular functionality, and if the developer and the Development team finds that this not of a high severity and high priority for the current build, then the person to whom the bug was assigned can defer the bug.

2.      The second scenario is that any new bug that?s been found during Ad hoc testing phase, and been escalated the development team; the team after discussion with business team can defer a bug.

Actually after competion all testcases execution tester reports the defect report format to developer. After taking defect format from tester developer did't got why defect was fixed then he put it into dereffered (he nither accept nor reject). He needs strong reson from tester why it made as defect.

A reviewer will be there, he may be testing team lead or development team lead. In most of the cases he is development lead only.

Anybody (could be the Developer, Dev' Lead, Reviewer, Release Engineer, Test Lead or Test Engineer)will have a right to change the state, when it comes to them, n it depends on various factors in different situations.

The status depends upon the priority of the bug, and the changed person is project manager or Test Lead.

Hi

In our Project the developer will change to Differed.. If tester logged the bug, then the developer thinks that it's no need to fixed now (as the existing functionality will not effected due this) then he change to deferred..  he can fix it in future..

Developer will change the status of defect as " Deffered " when assign defect (from Tester) is not a valid one .

When a ne bug is filed when approaching the product release, developer marks the bug as "defered" meaning the fix for this bug is postponed to next release cycle.

Whenever tester find a defect that is linked with the functionality or module that is not yet developed, so right now developer can't fix that defect, so developer changes the status to Deferred (meaning this bug will be fixed in coming builds)

  Was this answer useful?  Yes

It depends up on the Bug. Those who responsible for the bug will change the status as "Deferred" (who had to decide when to test it again). Most probably Project Manager..

example: If the Bug is up on configuration, then configuration manager has the right to change the defect status as "deferred". but he/she should response for when to test again(which release)
