Overview
The bug lifecycle covers what happens when a defect is found — how it is reported, where it is tracked, what a report must contain, how it is communicated, and how it is verified and closed. It also covers common process-violation scenarios and how they are resolved.
Why This Exists
A bug that isn't reported clearly, routed correctly, and verified on close wastes everyone's time and tends to come back. A consistent lifecycle makes defects actionable and keeps a complete, auditable record.
