if the defect is rejected then dev team will give us 
intimate with the proper reasons through e mail or bug 
tracking tool if it is accepted then dev team ask 4 screen 
shots

We will come to know with the status of the bug whether its 
accepted or rejected...
or else with bug tracking tool we can easily come to know...

hai swetha 
           defect status will indicates  whether 
thereported bug is accepted or rejected.

if u are using a bug tracking tool like testdirector or 
bugzilla or  some other the developeer who is assigned the
defect will change the defect status from new to 
duplicate/open/rejected/differed/fixed.

if the same defect is identified before then the defect 
status is 'duplicate'.

During the developper solving the bug the status will be 
changed by developper as 'open'.

if it not a bug because the defect may a software 
limitation or hardware limitation then it's status 
is 'rejected'.

it there is time to fix the bug or if  it is risk to fix 
the bug in the end of the project then the developper 
postpones the bug fixing to next release ten it is called
'differed'.

if the developper is cleard the reported bug then it's 
status is 'fixed'.

setha remember one thing all these things are given by the 
developper not by tester.
