Defect Life Cycle

What is defect life cycle?

While the tester logs the defect, he set the status of defect as new and assigns it to dev. Then developer will open and fix it, after change the defect status as RPSIT. After SIT build complete, Build master change defect status as RTV and assign to tester. Then tester will test it, if defect pass it will close otherwise it will be reopen and again assign to dev.
Duplicate? - When two bugs are same, which one is log first that is in open, another one is in duplicate status.
Deferred? - Which bugs are not affected by other functionality, these bugs are set in deferred status
Cancelled?
Rejected? - If the developer feels that the bug is not genuine (valid), he rejects the bug.
On hold? – Which bugs are depending on another bug, these bugs are set as “on hold”.
