As soon as u find a defect.you will track that defect Using
a Bug Tracker tool and give the Status as New.If the
Developer Fixes he gives the status as Fixed.After Fixing
the tester will retest and give the status as Closed(If he
feels defect is fixed).the Entire Process will be carried
out in a Bug Tracking Tool(depends on the Company which

Answer / anuradha
tracking the defect means trace the defect to it's complete
life cycle . I mean to say if tester find the defect (
deviation from requirement ) he/she will assign it to
developer with priority & severity . Developer fixed it in
these procedure defect has lot of status like new , open ,
reopen , fixed, differed , rejected , verified ,closed .TO
keep the track of defect from new to closed is called
defect trace
