Explain the steps for Bug Cycle?

-> Once the bug is identified by the tester, it is assigned to the development manager in open status.

-> If the bug is a valid defect the development team will fix it. 

-> If it is not a valid defect, the defect will be ignored and marked as rejected 

-> The next step will be to check whether it is in scope. If the bug is not the part of the current release then the defects are postponed 

-> If the defect or bug is raised earlier then the tester will assign a DUPLICATE status 

-> When bug is assigned to developer to fix, it will be given a IN-PROGRESS status 

-> Once the defect is repaired, the status will change to FIXED at the end the tester will give CLOSED status if it passes the final test.
