define defect lifecycle step by step

Answer Posted / samsirsameer

Bug Life Cycle:

Stage#1:
New: Test Engg finds a bug, drafts it and post in in Bug
Tracking system (BugZilla, PVCS, JEERA..ect)
Initially the bug is assigned to POC (testing) or TeamLoead
(development) or the test enggg directly assigns it to the
concerned developer (if he knows)

Stage#2:
i. Assigned: The Teamlead or POC or the tester himself (if
he is aware of teh developer working on that bug) assigns
the bug to the Concerned developer

OR
The POC or the development lead thinks that the posted bug
is NOT A BUG or NO PLAN TO FIX IN THIS RELEASE or
ENHANCEMENT (future request), he changes the status and
assigns the Bug back to the TEst Enginner. The TEst ENgg,
then closes the bug as per the lead/poc comments.

Stage#3:
The concerned Developer to whom the bug is assigned, will
look in to the isue
i.He may not be able to reproduce the bug. NOT ABLE TO
REPODUCE. He will assign it to the concerned test engg, the
test enginner willll verify and if repro he willl add his
comments (more detailed steps and assign) it to the
developer. If not reproduces, he will add conmmnents and
close it.

ii. Developer will fix and cnahe the status to
RESOLVED/FIXED and assigns it to Test Enginner

Stage#4:The test engg will reverify the bug in the fixed
build and if
it si fixed, he will add coments admn close it
if not fixed, he will add comments and assigns back to the
developer.

Again Stage#3 will come into picture and then Stage#4 until
the bug is verfied and closed.

Bug States:
New
Assigned
No plan to fix/Not a bug
Resolved/Fixed
NotFixed/Re-open
Fixed/Closed
