Categorization: Defect categorization help the software developers to prioritize their tasks. That means that this kind of priority helps the developers in fixing those defects first that are highly crucial.

Resolution: Once the defects are accepted and categorized, developers work on the fix and deploy it to the test environment on scheduled time

Verification: After the development team fixed and reported the defect, the testing team verifies that the defects are actually resolved.

Closure:  Once a defect has been resolved and verified, the defect is changed status as closed . If not, you have send a notice to the development to check the defect again.

Reporting:  The management board has right to know the defect status. They must understand the defect management process to support you in this project. Therefore, you must report them the current defect situation to get feedback from them.
