Defect Life Cycle Explained with Real-Time Example | Bug Life Cycle in Software Testing
If you are learning software testing, one topic that comes up again and again in interviews, real projects, and daily testing work is the Defect Life Cycle, also known as the Bug Life Cycle.
Many beginners can list defect statuses like New, Open, Fixed, Closed, but struggle to explain
👉 who changes the status
👉 why it changes
👉 and what actually happens in real-time projects
In this video, I explain the Defect Life Cycle step by step, exactly the way it works in real industry projects, using a simple login example.
You’ll clearly understand the complete flow:
New → Open → Fixed → Retest → Closed / Reopen, along with Rejected, Deferred, and Duplicate defects.
