Explain defect lifecycle.

Answer Posted / devi

Defect life cycle is as follows.

When a test case fails a bug is logged and the status is
assigned as NEW.
This is then forwarded to QA Lead for a review, who assigns
the bug to be
Open ( Valid and need to be fixed immediately)
Deffered (valid but can be fixed later)
Ignored ( not a valid bug)
depending upon the severity and priority of the bug.

If the status is Open this goes to devlopment environment,
where it get fixed and unit testing is done. The status
then changes to Fixed.
Then codepromotion takes place and is send to testing
environment, where the bug is retested. If the test case
passes the status changes to closed and life cycle ends
there. If the test case fails , the status changes to
reopen and undergoes the process again until it get fixed.
