Answer / biswal
HumanBeing is made for Mistake.
When a developer makes a mistake (Syntactic or Semantic) in
an application that is called Error in coding.
When a tester while testing finds that error hile
execution,it is called Defect (or Bug).
At the system level testing of the whole application if u
find a defect in the software,it is called Fault.
If End user finds that the software is not as per the
requirement,it is called Failure)

Bug and Defect both are same.

about the Code.

Answer / ananth
Defect is non conformance to the requirements and the test case.
Bug is a undesired functionality crept in. This could be
because of a scenario not thought of during requirements
gathering.
The best example of a bug is the Y2K. most of the systems
worked up to 1999 and couldn't round of to year 2000.
The floor and ceil is another example - 14.3 when rounded
off should round off to 14 and not 15 as per majority of the
requirement.
