what is the difference between error,bug and defect?

Answer Posted / vivek

Error : It is the Deviation from actual and the expected
value. Errors are potential defects that are found during
the phase that created them.

Bug : It is found in the development environment before the
product is shipped to the respective customer.

Defect : It is found in the product itself after it is
shipped to the respective customer.

Errors = potential defects that are found during the phase
that created them, and
Defects = errors that escape to a subsequent development or
delivery phase.
