Answer / deepu

A mistake in coding leads to 'ERROR' and when this error is identified by tester is called as a 'defect'.That means the difference between the expected result and the actual result is called as a DEFECT.

When the defect is fixed by the developer it is called as a BUG.

Please correct me if I am wrong.


Thanks in advance.
