Testing & Quality
What is Defect Lifecycle?
The sequence of statuses a defect passes through, such as new, assigned, fixed, ready for retest, closed, or rejected.
ERP defect flows often include transport steps between fix and retest. Clear status definitions prevent stuck defects. Aging reports highlight bottlenecks.
