what is difference between bug and defect?

Answer Posted / tester

Difference between severity and priority
Priority - It is something related to the scheduling. i.e.,
the urgency of the issue and the time period on which it
should be fixed and delivered.Priority is majorly depends
on customers expectation.
Severity - The nature of the bug or issue.It is exactly the
problem level in the product.

Difference between bug and defect

The term bug and defect almost similar. Ultimately it
refers to the problem in the code.
But in the real time , we call a bug as something
identified by the tester (i.e, before delivering a product)
and defect is identified by the customers(i.e., once the
product is delivered)
