1. Defect Tracking
1. Defect Recording - Defect recording is used to describe and quantify deviations from requirements.
2. Defect Reporting - Report the status of defects; including severity and location.
3. Defect Tracking - Monitoring defects from the time of recording until satisfactory resolution has been determined.
2. Testing Defect Correction
1. Validation - Evaluating changed code and associated documentation at the end of the change process to ensure compliance with software requirements.
2. Regression Testing - Testing the whole product to ensure that unchanged functionality performs as it did prior to implementing a change.
3. Verification - Reviewing requirements, design, and associated documentation to ensure they are updated correctly as a result of a defect correction.
