RE: what is the difference between bug and defect?

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 .

RE: what is the difference between bug and defect?

Bug- Finding an error by static testing(i.e not really executing the Product)without following any Test Spec

Defect-Finding an error by Dynamic testing(i.e by really executing the Product)following a proper Test Spec..

RE: what is the difference between bug and 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)

RE: what is the difference between bug and defect?

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.
