Bug: A fault in a program which causes the program to perform in an unintended or unanticipated manner. See: anomaly, defect, error, exception, fault.

Defect : The difference between the functional specification (including user documentation) and actual program text (source code and data) or you can say mismatch between requirements.

Defect, Bug, Error, Fault all are similar but not same, We have to use the works according to the situation

Defect: While testing the application when Actual Value is not same as Expected Value then it is Defect.
i.e, Testers identify a defect

Bug: When testers sending the defect to developers for rectification is called bug.
i.e, raising bug to developers

Error: Developers identify the error while performing white box testing

Both BUG and DEFECT are synonym. But they differ as below:

DEFECT: Any/all software related problem is termed as "defect".
Defect may be anything from tester point of view, say like: application is not easy to understand or navigate (in case of website) is a defect.
It may be or may not be accepted by the developers. Its about the respective user's view towards the application.

BUG: Basically the difference between Expected Result and Actual Result can be termed as "bug". It relies on functionality of the application. Also that the artifacts provided to the test team has been freezed and testing is in accordance to that artifact.
It has to be accepted by the developers as its the functional flaw in the software under test. Its about the end user's view towards the application.

Is a bug... Defect is any variance between actual n expected result
