In the first phase of the SDLC (i.e requirements gathering) the cost of fixing the bugs is less but in the last phase of SDLC (i.e release and maintenance) the cost of fixing the bug is more because during the release time if a bug is raised then we have to debug the source code then modify the source code then do testing so for all this will take more cost.

RE: Fixing of Bugs

Bug Fixing is least in the "Requirement Gathering" phase in SDLC. which one is Top-down approach. so the bugs are reduced in the initial steps.

Bug Fixing is high in the last phase "Releas & Maintanence" in SDLC. which one is bottom-up approach. so the bugs are more which intend in all over.

RE: Fixing of Bugs

The cost of defects is less when found in the requirements gathering phase and the cost is most expensive when discovered in the deployment phase.
