Defect is the deviation from Requirements given by
customer/client.(Black Box Testing)
Error is related to the development activities it may be
synatctical or logical error.(White box testing)
Failure is the impact of error/defect on other features of
program or application.(Black box testing)
Bug is the informal name given to defect(BBT)

Answer / geetha

Bug: If there is any mistakes in the coding is called Bug.

Defect: Bug leads to Defect in the component.

Failure.
(Or) the mismatch of actual and the expected is also a

Answer / yara

Error : A discrepancy between a computed, observed, or
measured value or condition and the true, specified, or
theoretically correct value or condition. See: anomaly, bug,
defect, exception, and fault

Failure: The inability of a system or component to perform
its required functions within specified performance
requirements. See: bug, crash, exception, fault.

Bug: A fault in a program which causes the program to
perform in an unintended or unanticipated manner. See:
anomaly, defect, error, exception, fault.

Fault: An incorrect step, process, or data definition in a
computer program which causes the program to perform in an
unintended or unanticipated manner. See: bug, defect, error,
exception.

Answer / anitha

Error : It is the human mistake done on the part of the
developers

Defect : Deviation or variation between expected result and
actual result

Bug : Defect and bug are almost same.the term bug which is
used in the place of defect.It is a informal term.

Fault : The error which has occured after completion of the
product

Failure : when the defect is visible to end users

Since we say

error,defect,bug - process related errors
fault,failure - product related errors

Answer / nitin

>> The programmer makes a mistake also known as an error.
This may be due to incomplete/ incorrect knowledge of the
program's internal structure.
>> The programmatic manifestation of the mistake/ error is
known as a Bug or Defect.
>> The difference between the Expected behavior and actual
behavior is known as an anomaly.
>> The anomaly is then investigated to determine the Failure.

Answer / taruna kalra

bug is any kind of mistake encountered while testing
error is a logical or a syntactical one made by the programmer
fault is the intermediate steps while execution which
disrupts the normal program flow
failure is something which happens when a faulty code is
executed for example the execution of the infinite loop.
