“A defect is an operation or function that fails to meet the products specification…. To be precise a defect is any non-conformity in a software product or process”
Q: What is defect…?
A:

The defect discovering process enables us to identify defects.This process involves reveling defects and bringing the defect to the notice of the development team.The development team then acknowledges
the defect as valid and fix the defect.The tester verifies and close the defect in the
end.

Defect tracking life cycle…
Reporting a defect
Verifies fixes internally
Verifies the fixes
Closing or reopening defect based on the defect status
Fixing the defect
Acknowledging the defect

Every software development project plans for a set of activities that are specially designed and performed to uncover defects.
There are three broad categories for detecting defects.Static technique Every software development project plans for a set of
activities that are specially designed and performed to uncover defects.There are three broad categories for detecting defects.
Static technique
Involves performing manual intermediate checks to examine the quality of the product being developed.
Dynamic technique
Refers to the process of executing software test to find defects.
Operational technique
Involves end users testing the system at the operational level and discovering defects that are not identified during the testing process.
Finding Defects…

The three category of defect finding
techniques are jointly required for an effective defect management program in an organization.
Static Dynamic Operational
“Static technique are more effective at finding defects in the early phase of the SDLC”

On the Basis of severity

High Severity
Medium Severity
Low Severity
Signifies that a minor issue occurred that costs some loss of functions. However workaround and testing can proceed without interruption.

High priorityMedium priorityLow priority
On the basis of priority…
Signifies that a defect has a major impact on the customer. This must be immediately fixed
Signifies that a defect has a major impact on the customer. The problem should be fixed before the release of the current version in developmentSignifies that a defect has a minor impact on the customer. The
flaw should be fixed if there is time, but it can be deferred until the next release.

Acknowledging defects is common in software testing environment
Even though defect acknowledgment is a crucial stage in the defect life cycle, there are often delays in the process.
One of the prominent reasons for delays in the acknowledgment of the defect is when the testing team is unable to replicate the defect report for the development team
Acknowledging defects…

The defect management process, involves defect recording, defect reporting, keeping track of the defect using defect tracking tool.
Defect recording
defects are identified and recorded
at each stage of the testing process.
Defect management process

4 purposeTo correct the defectTo report the status of the applicationTo gather statistics To further improve for software development process
Why to record???
www.garudatrainings.com
A defect report describes those which are present in the software..
A defect report should provide complete information on the defect to both the testing team and the team responsible for fixing the defect.
Defect reporting
www.garudatrainings.com
A unique identification no. for the defect.The defect name and type.Source of the defectSeverity of the defect.Priority assigned to the defect.The current status of the defect.Detailed description of the defect.The platform and operating system implemented.The steps performed when the defect occurs.The location of the defect with screen shots.The Person responsible for testing.The person responsible for fixing the defect.
