What is Defect/Bug/Error Life Cycle?..

Answer / deep

Hey Guys If bug is fixed its fine it ll be closed.
If not then it will be re-assign to the developer again.
But Who ll re-assign it..........Is it the test engineer or
the Lead.

One more question here who ll set the priority...If
developer why ?? why not the tester....Is that because the
backlog sheet is maintained by the developer.

What is Defect/Bug/Error Life Cycle?..

Answer / anu

New: When a new defect is logged and posted for the first time. It is assigned a status as NEW.
Assigned: Once the bug is posted by the tester, the lead of the tester approves the bug and assigns the bug to the developer team
Open: The developer starts analyzing and works on the defect fix
Fixed: When a developer makes a necessary code change and verifies the change, he or she can make bug status as “Fixed.”
Pending retest: Once the defect is fixed the developer gives a particular code for retesting the code to the tester. Since the software testing remains pending from the testers end, the status assigned is “pending retest.”
Retest: Tester does the retesting of the code at this stage to check whether the defect is fixed by the developer or not and changes the status to “Re-test.”
