**Notes: Defect Life Cycle in Software Testing - Software Testing Tutorial #44** **Understanding Defects:** - Defects are discrepancies between expected and actual software behavior. - These issues can result from coding errors or other problems in the software development process. **Defect Life Cycle Overview:** - The defect life cycle outlines the journey of a defect from identification to resolution within a project. - It consists of various states (statuses) and resolutions. **Common Defect Life Cycle States:** 1. **New:** Testers identify and report a new defect. 2. **Deferred:** Some defects may be deferred, meaning they won't be addressed immediately. 3. **Open or In Progress:** Developers take ownership and work on the fix. 4. **Fixed:** Developers mark the defect as "fixed" after implementing a solution. 5. **Retest (or Testing):** Testers reevaluate the defect; if resolved, it proceeds to closure. 6. **Closed:** The defect is marked as "closed" when it meets criteria and no longer affects the software. **Resolution Options:** - Defects also have resolutions, including "Not Reproducible," "Not a Bug," and "Duplicate." **Practical Insights:** - Comparing the defect life cycle to customer support: similar stages, like "new," "in progress," "fixed," and "closed." **Customization and Complexity:** - Organizations may customize workflows to suit project needs. - Tools like Jira allow tailoring workflows with granular statuses and resolutions. **Conclusion:** - Defects result from discrepancies between expected and actual software behavior. - The defect life cycle defines how defects are managed, from identification to resolution. - Understanding the core states and resolutions is essential for effective defect tracking and management in software testing.
**Notes: Defect Life Cycle in Software Testing - Software Testing Tutorial #44**
**Understanding Defects:**
- Defects are discrepancies between expected and actual software behavior.
- These issues can result from coding errors or other problems in the software development process.
**Defect Life Cycle Overview:**
- The defect life cycle outlines the journey of a defect from identification to resolution within a project.
- It consists of various states (statuses) and resolutions.
**Common Defect Life Cycle States:**
1. **New:** Testers identify and report a new defect.
2. **Deferred:** Some defects may be deferred, meaning they won't be addressed immediately.
3. **Open or In Progress:** Developers take ownership and work on the fix.
4. **Fixed:** Developers mark the defect as "fixed" after implementing a solution.
5. **Retest (or Testing):** Testers reevaluate the defect; if resolved, it proceeds to closure.
6. **Closed:** The defect is marked as "closed" when it meets criteria and no longer affects the software.
**Resolution Options:**
- Defects also have resolutions, including "Not Reproducible," "Not a Bug," and "Duplicate."
**Practical Insights:**
- Comparing the defect life cycle to customer support: similar stages, like "new," "in progress," "fixed," and "closed."
**Customization and Complexity:**
- Organizations may customize workflows to suit project needs.
- Tools like Jira allow tailoring workflows with granular statuses and resolutions.
**Conclusion:**
- Defects result from discrepancies between expected and actual software behavior.
- The defect life cycle defines how defects are managed, from identification to resolution.
- Understanding the core states and resolutions is essential for effective defect tracking and management in software testing.
I m a manual tester and i want to make my career in automation,plz suggest course and source from where
Nice explained. I watched all videos.
Thanks and welcome.
Keep watching for more videos!
Nice Teaching Sir...I got all concept..
Thank you a lot. Great work.
It's a Bug's Life 😄
Hahaha
😊
