Difference between defect, error, bug, failure and fault
“A mistake in coding is called error ,error
found by tester is called defect, defect
accepted by development team then it is called bug ,build does not meet the
requirements then it Is failure.”
Error: A discrepancy between a
computed, observed, or measured value or condition and the true, specified, or
theoretically correct value or condition. This can be a misunderstanding of the
internal state of the software, an oversight in terms of memory management,
confusion about the proper way to calculate a value, etc.
Failure: The inability of a system or
component to perform its required functions within specified performance
requirements. See: bug, crash, exception, and fault.
Bug: A fault in a program which causes
the program to perform in an unintended or unanticipated manner. See: anomaly,
defect, error, exception, and fault. Bug is terminology of Tester.
Fault: An incorrect step, process, or
data definition in a computer program which causes the program to perform in an
unintended or unanticipated manner. See: bug, defect, error, exception.
