Answer / akshay rastogi
Error occurs when the Programmer write the wrong syntax or takes the variables in unauthorized manner in programming.
Defect occurs due to errors. Using wrong syntax if programmer finds deviation in the results then it is so called defect.
We can say that if error is detected by a software developers
then it is called defect .
&
If that error is acknowledged by software developers it is called bug.

Answer / varshab
Error/Mistake : It is human action that could result in
incorrect result.
Bug/Defect/fault : Flaws in component or system that may
cause system or component to fail to perform its specified
operation.
Failure:Deviation from specified result.
If user has used software incorrectly then that's error and
it ll result into bug and if this bug is occured during
execution of component then system will fail.then its
called as failure.
