HI

Bug and Defect are one and the same.

If there is a mistake in coding it is called as an "Error".

If the same error is discovered by tester while testing the functionality it is called as "BUG".

If the same bug is delivered to the developer in a defect profile it is called as "DEFECT".

Hi Bug is defined as " It's a deviation from the requirements specified by client" and the Error is " Deviation from Coding". Deff between bug and defect is: If tester found any mistake and logged this in BTS then it's called as 'Defect' and at the same time if dev accepts it then it's called now as 'Bug"srinivasulu.B (srinivasulub1981@navayuga.co.in)

Defect  : While executing the test case , if any  mismatch (the difference in expected value & actual value) occured, this mismatch identified by test eng's. this mismatch is called the defect Or issue.

Bug : When defect or issue sent to developer, than developer  accepted and they ready to resolve that defect or issue  is known as Bug.

Both defect and bug are same. These are synonyms.

Any deviation from the expectation can be called as a bug or a defect.

If the same error is discovered by tester while testing the functionality it is called as BUG. Tester finds bugs after developer develops module.

After completion test and product release if the same bug is delivered to the developer in a defect profile it is called as DEFECT.

If there is a mistake in coding it is called as an Error.
