what is difference between bug and defect?

Answer Posted / sandhya reddy

Severity - Impact of defect on the product.Severity types
is given by testers.
Priority - Depends on Business logic.Proority is given by
business people or product manager in the company.
A defect may have high Severity but low priority coz it
may not be involved in business logic.

Bug-Conformed defect is called bug.it is said to be bug
only at developer place.
Defect-Any functionality is wrong then it is said to be
defect by testers.It turns to bug only at developers place.
