    Defect prevented at the early stage of the lifecycle saves lot of money and effort to the company. There are different ways of preventing defects. Some examples are as follows:
    a. Use previously logged defects and analyze the pattern incase its a existing application / system
    b. Review and inspections of the analysis, design and coding artifacts to make sure they adhere to proper guidelines
    c. Review of test cases written by testing team from development team and Business users / analysts to avoid any gap
    d. Have testing from development team of the integrated application before delivering it to the testing team.

    We have used all these and have found them to be effective in reducing no. of defects.

    In any phase, the sooner we see a defect, the less is the cost spent on rectifying the defect. It becomes a costlier affair in later stages. The best phase is Requirements phase. When the defect is found in later phases, it costs more for its correction.

    As we are aware, in SDLC later the defects identified, costlier is the Project Delieverable.  Earlier the defect identified & resolved, cheaper is the costing. So, as per the provided option, Best time to resolve the defects is during the Requirement Phase.
