After the bug has been assigned to someone, its status changes to \u2018ASSIGNED\u2019. While assigning the bug, the priority of the bug is also assigned.<br><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Open<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Sometimes as soon as the bug is assigned to someone it has common status i.e. \u2018OPEN\/ASSIGNED\u2019. Sometimes both are different stages, such as a bug is open but unassigned or a bug is assigned but unopened. Once the developer is assigned the bug and when s\/he starts working on it, its status changes to \u2018OPEN\u2019.<br><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Rejected\/Not a bug\/Dropped<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If the assignee (Project Lead\/ Project Manager\/ Test Lead) or developer finds the bug to be invalid, it is given a \u2018REJECTED\u2019 status. <br><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Deferred<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Sometimes a NEW or ASSIGNED bug is given \u2018DEFERRED\u2019 status based on the urgency and criticality of the bug.

Once it has been tested, if it is solved, its status will be changed to \u2018VERIFIED\u2019 and if it is not solved and the bug still persists, its status will be changed to \u2018REOPENED\u2019 by the testing team.<br><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Reopened<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If the tester is not satisfied with the solved issue, the bug is assigned the \u2018REOPENED\u2019 state.
