Bug: if the developer accepts our reported defect then it is called bug.Defect: during testing if we found any mismatches in testing ie our expected is not equal to our actual then it is called defect.Error: the mistakes made by developer in coding.

Bug

 

A bug is about the quality of the AUT that may or may not indicate the existence of a defect in the product.

 

Defect

 

A defect is a deviation from expectations that may require corrective action. A defect may be manifested(obvious) in several occurrences.

 

Fault

 

A fault is an error, a mistake in the implementation or design of the AUT which may or may not have been specifically identified.

 

Failure

 

A failure is the misbehavior of some program or process, which results in the AUT encountering a set of fault conditions.
