Software Bug Reproduction. In Software Development process Defect Life Cycle is life cycle of defect or bug from which it goes through covering the specific set of states in its entire life. If the bug is fixed then QA verifies the bug and can set the bug status as verified closed or Reopen.
Documenting these things ahead of time will save the team time and money. At this stage the bug needs to be reproduced the issue uncovered and the associated code fixed. Most of the bugs are expected to be logged during testing phase.
Bug reproduction is a highly collaborative process by which software developers attempt to locally replicate the environment within which a bug was originally encountered.
If a developer is attempting to reproduce a bug on a different OS in a different environment theres a good chance they wont be able to reproduce it and so may ask for additional information. Bugs can be find out at any stage during SDLC Software development Life Cycle it could be at the designing phase SRS or FRD documents requirements gathering development phase testing phase user acceptance testing phase or even by the end user while using that application. In this state the status of the defect posted by the tester is New Assigned. At this stage the bug needs to be reproduced the issue uncovered and the associated code fixed.
