Defects or Bugs In Software Testing

When you speak about Software Testing, bugs or defects form an integral part.

Basically, the intention of Software Testing or QA Testing is to find the defects in the software, to

deliver a quality product in the end.

Definition of defects or bugs:

A defect is simply an error or a bug found in the software. It is an evidence kind of a thing, which suggests that the software is not working as expected

In short, when the actual result does not match the expected result, then the outcome is a defect.

What are the causes of errors/bugs ?

A developer, while developing a particular application or a software is bound to make mistakes. If the client requirements are not understood correctly, it may lead to functionality related defects

Therefore, anything which does not match with the requirements stated in the SRS document, is termed as a bug or a defect.

Bugs or defects result into unexpected results which hamper the quality of your product.

More Information on Bugs:

If a large number of bugs or defects are found in a software application, then it is often called as “Buggy”.

Just like Software testing life cycle, a defect life cycle describes the various stages through which a defect

goes.

The testers report the bugs by filing them in bug tracking tools like Bugzilla.
