Answer / devi
In the defect tracking window of QC, there is a “find
similar defect” icon. When this icon is clicked after
writing the defect, if anybody else has entered the same
defect then it points it out.

Answer / rajendra
Duplicate Defects means
The same type of defects that are present in defferent
places of application bcoz of copy,paste operation of code
during the code development process.
For example if you take one application it has 9(lets say)
screens.
But the 9 screens have some identical properties/features.
The developpers will write a piece of code then this code
will be copied and used where ever they need.
During the process of Test case execution if we find any
bug we used to enter the the failure result in test case
and we assign a bug id for that.
we know that we used to write test case such that for each
and every functionality there must be at least one test
case.
If we find the bug for first time we enter the bug
description in defect report and we assign a bug id.
if we fined the same bug again already entered bug will be
present in the test case result column.

Answer / ashish
A bug is said to be duplicate bug when it states same
scenario/description with same steps to reproduce and same
expected result as mentioned in another bug.

Answer / x
A defect/incident is always a reflection of the sympton
experienced when the expected result of a test is not
found. So by this, the only way a defect can be a
duplicate, is if the same identical scenario/symptom is
found in testing.
It is common for a developer to think that if one code
change fixes multiple defects, the defects can be marked as
duplicate. This is incorrect. A fix can apply to multiple
defects, but a duplicate defect should only be labelled as
such when the symptom is the same, not when the fix is the
same.

Its nothing like fiding a duplicate defect. When a person
logs a defect, and unknowingly another person also logs the
same defect, it is said to be a duplicate defect
