Fixed
When developer makes necessary code changes and verifies the changes then he/she can make bug status as ‘Fixed’.
Retest
At this stage the tester do the retesting of the changed code which developer has given to him to check whether the defect got fixed or not.
Reopened
If the bug still exists even after the bug is fixed by the developer, the tester changes the status to “reopened”. The bug goes through the life cycle once again.
Deferred
the bug is expected to be fixed in next releases.
The reasons :priority of the bug may be low, lack of time for the release or the bug may not have major effect on the software.
Rejected
If the developer feels that the bug is not genuine, developer rejects the bug.
Duplicate
the bug is repeated twice or the two bugs mention the same concept of the bug
Closed
If the tester feels that the bug no longer exists in the software, tester changes the status of the bug to “closed”. This state means that the bug is fixed, tested and approved.
Not a bug/Enhancement
if there is no change in the functionality of the application. For an example: If customer asks for some change in the look and field of the application like change of color of some text then it is not a bug but just some change in the looks of the application.
