Bug Life cycle

(Bug Life cycle) is the journey of a defect from its identification to its closure. The Life Cycle varies from organization to organization.

The different states of a bug can be summarized as follows:

1. New
2. Open
3. Assign
4. Test
5. Verified
6. Deferred
7. Reopened
8. Duplicate
9. Rejected and
10. Closed

Description of Various Stages:

New: Tester finds a defect and posts it with the status NEW. This means that the bug is not yet approved.
Open: After a tester has posted a bug, the lead of the tester approves that the bug is genuine and he changes the state as “OPEN”.
Assign: Once the lead changes the state as “OPEN”, he assigns the bug to corresponding developer or developer team. The state of the bug now is changed to “ASSIGN”.
Test: Once the developer fixes the bug, he has to assign the bug to the testing team for next round of testing. Before he releases the software with bug fixed, he changes the state of bug to “TEST”. It specifies that the bug has been fixed and is released to testing team.
Deferred: If a valid NEW or ASSIGNED defect is decided to be fixed in upcoming releases instead of the current release it is DEFERRED. This defect is ASSIGNED when the time comes.
Rejected: if Found bug is not invalid, it is DROPPED / REJECTED. Note that the specific reason for this action needs to be given.
Duplicate: If the bug is repeated twice or the two bugs mention the same concept of the bug, then one bug status is changed to “DUPLICATE”.
Verified: If the Tester / Test Lead finds that the defect is indeed fixed and is no more of any concern, it is VERIFIED.
Reopened: If the Tester finds that the ‘fixed’ bug is in fact not fixed or only partially fixed, it is reassigned to the Developer who ‘fixed’ it. A REASSIGNED/Reopen  bug needs to be COMPLETED again.
Closed: Once the bug is fixed, it is tested by the tester. If the tester feels that the bug no longer exists in the software, he changes the status of the bug to “CLOSED”. This state means that the bug is fixed, tested and approved.
