What is the difference between bug,defect, error, failulre,
fault & mistake?

Answer Posted / jai

Bug is from tester's perspective

"The output that deviates from the actual requirement
(SRS). In that case tester call it a bug and developer call
it a defect."

Defect is from developer's perspective

Error occurred while coding or some logical error.

Failure &fault is same and can be difined as when client
fails to get the required results during acceptance testing
he/she termed it as failure/fault.

Feel free to comment
Thanks
Jai
