the defects a process can have can be put in a defect

Answer / keerthanakoluvu

TRACK DEFECT:
While testing the application i.e execution of test cases,
if expectd value is deviated from actual value then we will
set the status of the bug as NEW and send that buglist to
developers.
Then developer verifies whether it is really a bug or not.
If he feels it as a bug he will set the status as OPEN and
he starts rectification. Once rectification is completed
and before sending it to the development dept he will set
the status as FIXED.
Else
There are 3 cases
i. If he is in confused state i.e to accept it or not as a
bug, he will set the status as HOLD.
ii. If he feels i.e not at all a bug then he wills et teh
status as Rejected/ Testers Mistake.
iii. If the tester don't know about that functionality
newly incorporated by Client then he will set the status as
AS PER DESIGN.

Once the bugs are rectified the development dept will
release the second buils to the testing dept then the
testers will test the defect functioanlity as well as new
functionality. If the defects are rectified then they will
set the status as CLOSED. Else they will set the status as
REOPEN. IF any new defects identified set the status as NEW
and they will send the buglist to development dept
