Bug Life Cycle

1) Tester ----new----Test Lead----open----Development Lead ----Developer-----Fixed----Tester
Tester----re-open----Developer

When a tester finds a defect he assigns a new status for the defect and passes it to the test lead.

The test lead  verifies the defect and assigns a open status and passes it to the development lead.


The development lead then  verifies the bug and assigns it the developer.

After that the developer works on the defect fixes it and assigns it back to the tester with a fixed status.

After the tester test to see if the defect still exist. If it doesn't exist the status has been changed to closed.

However, if it still exist then tester reopens the case and sends it back to the developer.
