Name the defect life cycle.

The defect life cycle typically includes the following stages:

1. Detection — the defect is found by a tester or user.
2. Registration — the defect is documented in the tracking system with a description, reproduction steps, and priority.
3. Analysis and confirmation — the development team checks the defect and confirms its existence.
4. Assignment — the defect is assigned to the responsible developer.
5. Fixing — the developer corrects the error.
6. Testing the fix — the tester verifies that the defect has been resolved and has not caused new issues.
7. Closure — the defect is closed after successful testing.

Additional statuses are possible, such as "rejected" (if the defect is not reproducible or not a bug), "deferred", etc. This cycle helps control the error correction process and product quality.
