What is the bug life cycle?

Answer Posted / jhuma

A bug life cycle may be like this...........
1.new:-when the bug is first time found/revealed by the tester,he communicates with his lead to be sure about the validity of the bug.If it is valid,then it is reported and the status becomes "new"
2.Assigned:-After a bug is reported new,it comes to the development team and and the lead verifies the bug and if found valid he assigns it to a particular developer.Now the status becomes assigned.
3.open:;when a developer is assigned a bug,he opens it to work on the bug.He changes the status to "open".
4.fixed:-once the developer makes necessary changes to the code,he changes the status to "fixed".
5.retest:-then it comes to the tester for retesting.now the tester changes the status to "retest".
6.closed:-if the tester is satisfied with the changes or the fixing of the bug after retesting,he closes the bug and changes the status to "close".
reopen:-if after retesting,the tester finds any defects or wrong,he reopens the bug and changes the status to"reopen".
7.rejected:-if the developer finds the bug is invalid,he rejects the bug and changes the status to "rejected".
8.Deferred:-if the developer thinks that the bug can be fixed later because of less importance of the bug,he can defer it and now the status becomes "deferred".
