    What is Defect?

    In computer technology, a Defect is a coding error in a computer program. It is defined by saying that “A software error is present when the program does not do what its end user reasonably expects it to do”.
    Bug the application works incorrectly or provides incorrect information. (for example, a letter is allowed to be entered in a number field)
