What is the difference between bug,defect, error, failulre,
fault & mistake?

Answer Posted / prashant tangle

Error: it is human mistake, probably you can say that
developer has done a mistake i.e. error in code.

Fault: It is unexpected result due to above mistake, you
can say that due above error in code there is fault at the
system or application.

Failure: It can occurs due to fault(s) at system, say that
due to multiple faults system fails.

Defect: It is purely finding a fault in the system, it can
be a bug.
