Firstly, what is a defect? Any deviation from customer
expectation is a defect. It can happen in any phase of SDLC
starting from Requirement phase.
e.g. A mistake in BRD is a defect done by BA.
Any defect in coding found in the Testing phase started to
be colloquially called as a Bug. But later got standardised.
