Answer / sridhar
Error is the terminology used in programming which can be
two types logical and syntax.
Defect or Bug or Fault is any deviation from the requirement
can be call as Defect or Bug or Fault.Failure is inability
of the system to perform a task on a given condition
Defects are reported when the expected result is not
matching with actual result,defects are reported to test
engineer for every test cases we fail we need to report a
defect.For a single test case we can have multiple defects

How do you handle a test case when the test data created with an AGE field becomes invalid since the date of the system changes over time? For example, a person who could be a < 18 years old last month is now > 18 years and the whole scenario fails? Do you keep updating the test data or is there another creative solution here (besides changing the system date & time which can't be done as it is an Internet app)?
