What is the Difference between Bug, Error and Defect?

Basic Faqs in Software Testing
Bug: It is found in the development environment before the product is shipped to the respective customer. Verification is done by frequent evaluation and meetings to appraise the documents, policy, code, requirements, and specifications. This is done with the checklists, walkthroughs, and inspection meetings. Validation is done during actual testing and it takes place after all the verifications are being done.

Why is an error or a defect called a bug?

NEW TESTER FAQ
The legend goes that the first digital computer, ENIAC, was having a malfunction. Lt. Grace Hopper, looking in the hardware components, found a moth trapped in the boards. However, The New Hacker's Dictionary [Eric Raymond, Second Edition, MIT Press, (1994)] states that the term was used prior to that event. Even so, the legendary moth is now reputed to be property of the Smithsonian Institute. See similar questions...

What is the smallest defect that I can see?

Sonoscan Frequently Asked Questions
In the “Z” (depth) direction, AMI is sensitive to separations as small as 200 Angstroms. In the X-Y directions, the resolution is based on the ultrasonic frequency and the design of the transducer. Typically the resolution is about 250 microns for 10 MHz, 75 microns for 30 MHz, 25 microns for 100 MHz and 10 microns for 230 MHz. However, a transducer can actually detect defects smaller than its resolution by an order of magnitude. See similar questions...

What do I do when a defect is reported?

JUnit FAQ
Test-driven development generally lowers the defect density of software. But we're all fallible, so sometimes a defect will slip through. When this happens, write a failing test that exposes the defect. When the test passes, you know the defect is fixed! Don't forget to use this as a learning opportunity. Perhaps the defect could have been prevented by being more aggressive about testing everything that could reasonably break. See similar questions...

Can Anyone tell me the difference between defect tracking efficiency and defect removal efficiency?

Complete Software Engineering: QA vs. Testing
i want to do certification in testing...which is valid through out the world. Which certification has great value? please mail me the details to sirisha_kota19@yahoo.com Padmaja, your question about testing stored procedures is an interesting one. You -can- run SQL and verify the output of a query via WinRunner (see chapter 17 of the WinRunner User's Guide).

What is the difference between the return value and @error?

AutoIt
Generally a return value is used to indicate the success of a function. But, if a function is already returning something ( like WinGetText() ) then we need to have a way of working out if the function was successful, so we set @error instead. See similar questions...

What is a bug?

R FAQ
If R executes an illegal instruction, or dies with an operating system error message that indicates a problem in the program (as opposed to something like “disk full”), then it is certainly a bug. If you call .C(), .Fortran(), .External() or .Call() (or .Internal()) yourself (or in a function you wrote), you can always crash R by using wrong argument types (modes). This is not a bug.
