Basic Interview Question

Error refers to a discrepancy in a computed or measured value compared to the correct value. A failure is the inability of a system to perform its required functions. A bug is a fault in a program that causes unintended behavior. A fault is an incorrect step, process, or definition that leads to unintended program behavior. A defect is a mismatch between requirements. Errors occur due to faults and may lead to defects being discovered by testers or bugs being accepted by developers.

Difference between defect,error,bug,failure and fault Error : A discrepancy between a computed, observed, or measured value or condition and the

true, specified, or theoretically correct value or condition. See: anomaly, bug, defect, exception, and fault Failure: The inability of a system or component to perform its required functions within specified performance requirements. See: bug, crash, exception, fault. Bug: A fault in a program which causes the program to perform in an unintended or unanticipated manner. See: anomaly, defect, error, exception, fault. Fault: An incorrect step, process, or data definition in a computer program which causes the program to perform in an unintended or unanticipated manner. See: bug, defect, error, exception. Defect: Mismatch between the requirements.

Error -A Fault in the program leads to error in program exection. Defect-If the error caught by tester then it is called as defect. Bug - If the defect is accepted by the development people then it is called as Bug. Fault---->Error---->Defect---->Bug Error may be generated due to syntax or symantic fault. Different types of error are 1.syntax errors 2.symantic errors 3.Logical errors 4.Runtime errors...etc All athe above errors will be occured during white box testing of the application/product. In BlackBox testing main defects are Requirement missing or Wrongly interpreted requiremets, Misoperation of fuctionalities...etc.
