The bug life cycle, also known as the disfigurement life cycle, represents the colorful stages a software disfigurement goes through from the time it’s linked until it’s fixed and vindicated. The bug life cycle provides a methodical approach to managing and tracking blights in a software development and testing process. The typical bug life cycle includes the ensuing stages
New
Description This is the original stage where a tester or a platoon member reports a implicit disfigurement or bug. It could be grounded on the results of testing, client feedback, or any other source.
Status The status of the bug is set to “ New. ”
Open
Description After the bug is reported, it’s reviewed by a platoon lead or a director who assigns it to the development platoon for farther disquisition.
Status The status changes to “ Open. ”
Assigned
Description The bug is assigned to a inventor who’ll be responsible for probing, fixing, and resolving the issue.
Status The status changes to “ Assigned. ”
In Progress
Description The inventor starts working on fixing the bug, making the necessary law changes to address the reported issue.
Status The status changes to “ In Progress. ”
Fixed
Description The inventor has made the necessary law changes to address the reported issue, and the bug is considered fixed.
Status The status changes to “ Fixed. ”
Ready for Retest
Description After the bug is fixed, it’s assigned back to the testing platoon for retesting to insure that the reported issue has been successfully resolved.
Status The status changes to “ Ready for Retest. ”
Restarted
Description If the testing platoon finds that the bug still exists or if new issues are linked during retesting, the bug is restarted.
Status The status changes to “ restarted, ” and the bug goes back to the development platoon for farther disquisition and fixing.
Vindicated
Description Once the testing platoon verifies that the bug has been successfully fixed and that the software now meets the anticipated geste
, the bug is marked as “ vindicated. ”
Status The status changes to “ vindicated. ”
Closed
Description The bug is closed when it has been fixed, checked , and vindicated successfully. A formal check report may be generated, recapitulating the bug- fixing process.
Status The status changes to “ Closed. ”
Remitted
Description occasionally, a decision is made to postpone fixing a bug to a unborn release. In similar cases, the bug is marked as “ Prolonged. ”
Status The status changes to “ Prolonged. ”
The bug life cycle helps brigades manage blights efficiently, icing that each bug is duly proved, addressed, and vindicated before closing. It provides visibility into the status of each disfigurement and facilitates communication between development and testing brigades. The bug life cycle may vary slightly from one association or design to another, but the general stages remain harmonious.
