Application development - Record
Defect
Something in a product or system that does not behave as it should
What's it for?
Gives teams a clear record of something that is not working correctly so it can be fixed and retested.
For example…
A report exports blank rows when the date filter spans more than thirty days — logged as a defect against the reporting release.
A checkout page accepts the payment but never creates the order; testing logs the behaviour as a defect with clear steps to reproduce it
Think of it like…
Wonky door latch: the door still exists, but it fails a basic job people rely on
