If any of the requirement of the delivered software is not working properly, then its a defect.

While testing the software, if any issue found, then its an Issue

A coding error in a software is called a Bug

Hi all,

A flaw in a component or system that can cause the component or system to fail to perform its required function, e.g. an incorrect statement or data definition. A defect, if encountered during execution, may cause a failure of the component or system.Defect is also termed as "BUG" also in our S/W Testing Industry.
