Answer / amit verma

Try to Reproduce the same bug by following the steps that v
used earlier.If it occurs again then take a screen shot(if
its reqr.) and send them back with Steps to Reproduce along
with att. screens shot.

If again he refuse to accept it as a bug then discuss it
with ur PM or send him a mail along with screen shot and
steps . But make sure that should be a bug o/w u r in prob.

That Really Works :-)

Answer / naveen

Two ways which you can convience developer
1>Providing steps to reproduce the issue
2>Providing the function doc

If any req gap happens like ;
Some times requirement clarification/conversation may
happen b/t Tester and BA (Probably developers will also
include in those mails)so providing those mails to dev team
and to confirms a defect.
But these cases should not be in a last minute

Answer / rajesht

case1: Requirement exists for the reported bug

If Dev says it is an invalid issue, then the tester need to
give him reference no of the requirement.

case2: Requirement not exists for the reported bug.

Sometimes we may encounter some issues while testing which
do not have requirements. In that case we still have right
to submit a bug with issue category as requirements. If the
developer says that it is an invalid issue then we have to
move that bug to business analyst asking his comments. Once
we receive the comments from business analyst we will move
back the bug to developers court.
