Jan 15, 2011 · Wherever possible, using DEFECT instead of BUG actually carries with it a connotation that we acknowledge our failures (our defects, our lack of understanding of user requirements or the things we overlooked in implementation) instead of dressing it up as the more trivial sounding "bug". Use DEFECT. Try not to use the term BUG.
Jun 23, 2016 · A defect is often caused by a bug but not always. For example, if the specification says software should do something and the software does that, it's not a bug. But if that makes the software unsuitable for its intended use, it's a defect. A bug may cause a defect but not always.
They all represent defects in the code. Either the code is correct or it is wrong. If it is wrong, it's a defect. Both "bug" and "flaw" simply water-down the meaning of the word "defect". Use "defect", so you don't end up in long conversations about whether it is a defect, flaw or bug, instead of simply fixing it and moving on.
Apr 20, 2017 · A defect does not necessarily mean there is a bug in the code, it could be a function that was not implemented but defined in the requirements of the software. Share Improve this answer
Apr 9, 2018 · @PeterMasiar The fact that it's impossible to find and fix all bugs doesn't change the fact that a tester which finds 90% of bugs is better than a tester which only finds 50%. And the bug impact is only known after the bug is found, so it doesn't seem fair to reward a tester who found a high-impact bug by chance. I'd rather hire a guy which can ...
The answer is "it depends on whose vocabulary you are using" and this question sure is not a duplicate of "Difference between defect and bug in testing". – David Tonhofer Commented Sep 7, 2014 at 8:56
The sum of this series is 53 1/3, so Team A's feature development allocation is 40/(53 1/3) = 75% and defect-fixing allocation is 25%, which matches their defect injection rate of 10/40 = 0.25. Actually, all terms in Team A's series after the first three are negligibly small.
Aug 31, 2023 · I'm not sure how many teams are tracking defect density, but I am aware of a publication titled "100 to 1 Ratio for Agile Defect Prevention Over Traditional Methods" by Nancy Van Schooenderwoert. It has a table that cites some data from Capers Jones which puts best and average defects per function point for non-agile projects somewhere between 2.0 and 4.5, while the author ran a project at 0.22 defects per function point and articles in the Cutter IT Journal found agile projects with fewer ...
Bug - A problem in the code leading to unexpected output. Support - Something that needs to be done before other issues can be looked at. ie. a bug that the CSV generator is generating errors is because there is no proper CSV generator yet. Support - write a CSV generator. Feature - An enhancement or improvement I'd like to make. Can be big or ...
It’s also how directions and stories are told. The story, in this case, is “how to reproduce a bug” and the end of the story is “here is the bug”. In other words, what you Actually find, followed by what you Expected. The difference between Actual and Expected is the bug.
