Bug life Cycle starts with a defect or flaw in the software which creates a bug and end when the developer fixes the assigned bug. When a bug is found it should be assigned to the developer that can fix it. Once the bug is fix it should be retested and also verify a fix does not create a new bug anywhere else.
