Error is the terminology used in programming which can be
two types logical and syntax.
Defect or Bug or Fault is any deviation from the requirement
can be call as Defect or Bug or Fault.Failure is inability
of the system to perform a task on a given condition

matching with actual result,defects are reported to test
engineer for every test cases we fail we need to report a
defect.For a single test case we can have multiple defects
