11. Types of Defects

11. Types of defects:
After receiving all the defect reports, the development team will analyse these defects for reality (i.e.) the development team will make analysis on this defects to identify the type of defects by go through the explanation provided by the test engineer for the corresponding defects.
If the defect is acceptable then the defect tracking team is categorizing the defects as

i. Test Procedure related defects.
ii. Test data (or) Test Input Related defects.
iii. Coding related defects.
iv. Hardware related defects (or) Infrastructure related defects.

11.1. Test Procedure related defects:
The defects related to the test steps in the test procedure. (i.e.) defects in the testing process.
11.2. Test data related defects:
The data or the input values given by the test engineer to test a requirement. The input values or the data for that requirement is the specification mentioned by the client or customer to that particular requirement.
(Or)
Test data related defects means the defects occurred in the data given to test a requirement.
11.3. Coding related defects:
The defects occurred in the programming logic.
11.4. Hardware related defects:
The defects occurred in the hardware configuration.
