Error: Functionality is Missing
Bug:Functionality is there,but not working properly
if a software performance is not up to the mark or

Answer / asad
bug, (failure), error, success, pass etc are the names for
RESULT
so....
when the analysis is done on the result then we give any of
the namings among the groups mentions(etc)
the only exception is when we dont get the result at all is
a FALIURE!
when we get the result then comes the remaining
terminoloigies...Iff it is as expected the result is said
to be pass/sucesss... etc other wise
we have the result ... but its not what has been expected
it is an error...! AND
the reson for an such error(S) is a BUG!
