When tester receives the feedback from Developers that the defect is "Resolved", tester should test the same and if it is fixed "Close" the defect or "Reopen" the defect.

A defect that occurred in Version 1 of a product is rediscovered in Version 5.  What would I do?

1) I would first review the old defect report to gain knowledge on similarities and differences.  Is there anything I can learn to determine how the problem resurfaced?2) Since three versions of the product have released without this defect, I would likely open a new defect and reference the old one.
3) I would have the dev team check software versioning to determine whether old files found their way into the most recent build.
4) I would author regression test case(s) to cover this vulnerable functionality.
