Open - The Initial state of the Bug when the QA has reported it for the first time.
Non Reproducible - This state is marked in order to let the programmer know that this bug has been observed but can not be re- produced.
Fixed - Once the Programmer has identified the source of the problem fixed it and released a version to the QA, the Bug status will be changed by the programmer to this state - pending QA re-test confirmation.
Re-Open - Once QA has received the Fixed version it will re-test, if the bug re occurs QA will then mark the bug as re-opened
Closed - Once the bug has been retested and the fix is confirmed then the QA will update the bug status to Closed.
- Next two status options are not with in the general bug life cycle for obvious reasons.
Duplicate - when the same bug has been reported twice ( by two QA engineers or when one problem report arrives from a costumer and another from the QA) the bug will be reported as duplicate and the fix will be marked only on one of the duplicate bugs.
