There are following differences in Error, Bug and Defect:-
Error: An error is programmatic/development time, syntax error in the file.
Bug: If we give the build/war file to Testing/QA team to test it. They raise the bug in case, if the functionality doesn't work/output as per requirement document exceptions. The raised bug is given to developers and developers will fix it.
or
If any discrepancy found by the testers in the
product during the testing of product.
Defect: If any discrepancy found by the customer in the
product after the releasing.
