What is the difference between bug,defect, error, failulre,
fault & mistake?

Answer Posted / param gates

Let me explain with an example.

If input is 2+2, then output is an error message, it is
error(syntax error).

If input is 2+2, then output is 5, it is bug(logical error).

If the program is for addition and subtraction, and only
addition is there and subtraction is left out, it is defect.


Usually the error is found by developer.

Usually the bug is found by tester.

Usually the defect is found by client or user.
