Answer / amber
There is no difference between Bugs/Errors/Defects. They
are one at the same things. Different companies are using
different terms for defining errors. If I take an example
of HPQC, every issue is being locked in the tool
as 'Defect' (even if its been found during requirement
walkthroughs / Unit Testing or Function testing)
All signifies one statement:
"Differernce between actual and expected output"

Answer / ashwin kumar v n
DEFECT is introduced into the software as a result of an
ERROR at the input that may cause the system to behave
incorrectly and not according to the specification.
Error: It is a mistake,misconception or misunderstanding on
the part of a software engineer. When mistakes or errors
occur at the input side then they enter into the system as
faults/defects which further lead to the FAILURE of the system.

Answer / vijaya
Bug is software error which is not properly working in the
application.
Defect is any one of these..
either insufficient in the SRS,
insufficient in DD's(Design Documents)
it may be any defect right from beginning of the
development life cycle.
Error means it is mistake done by the programmers.

Defect -Defects occur usually when a product no longer
works the way it used to.It is usually found after the
release of software

Answer / rich
There is no difference in these terminologies unless
specified by the management of your particular company.
There have been many different assignments of meanings to
each of these terminologies and you may find that where you
work, there is a difference, but globally there is none.
