Study Notes

Defect Life Cycle

  • The Defect Life Cycle, also known as the Bug Life Cycle, covers the different states of a defect from when it's found to when it's closed.
  • The cycle starts when a tester finds a new defect and ends when the tester closes it, ensuring it won't reproduce again.

States of a Defect

  • New: The first state of a defect when it's found by a tester.
  • Assigned: The defect is assigned to the development team to work on it.
  • Open: The developer analyzes the defect and works on fixing it, or transfers it to another state (Duplicate, Deferred, Rejected, or Not a Bug) if necessary.
  • Fixed: The developer finishes fixing the defect and marks its status as "Fixed".
  • Pending Retest: The developer assigns the defect to the tester for retesting.
  • Retest: The tester starts retesting the defect to verify if it's fixed accurately.
  • Reopen: The defect is reassigned to the developer if issues persist after retesting.
  • Verified: The tester confirms the defect is fixed accurately and marks its status as "Verified".
  • Closed: The defect is closed when it no longer exists.

Importance of Defect Life Cycle

  • Understanding the Defect Life Cycle is essential for testers to know the various stages of a defect.
  • The main objective of testing is to ensure a product is less prone to defects.
  • A defect is a flaw or error in an application that restricts its normal flow.
  • It's the tester's responsibility to find as many defects as possible to ensure a quality product.
