Defect Identification
About Defect Identification
A
defect is behavior that is in some way unintended in a software
product – the visible evidence of a mistake made somewhere in the
development process, perhaps a requirement stated incorrectly (or left
out), a design that overlooked how something should be done, or a coding
error.
Defect detection is a part of the quality control and assurance process.
Defects
are found either by pre-planned activities specifically intended to
uncover defects (e.g., quality control activities such as inspections,
testing, etc.) or by accident (e.g., users in production).
