When ever you identify a defect and can regenerate the defect or bring the application to the same stage on demand is called reproducing the defect.

When some one finds a bug and reported to defect tracker, developers need to know how to reproduce the same bug. For that tester need to provide steps to reproduce the defect.

Ex: If you work for Yahoo and login failed with correct user name and password. Your steps will be

          Open Browser

          Go to http://mail.yahoo.com

          Enter valid user name and password in the User name and password fields

          Click Sign-in

 

Expected result: Welcome page

Actual result: User name or password not valid

Hi,

  Reproducing a bug means : while executing the test cases,u may find bugs, while loging the defects u can execute the same test case whether the same bug occuring again or not..if we are not doing that then the development team may regect the defect that has been logged by tester..

let me know if there are any mistakes..

I'll give the situation so that you can understand what is Re-Producing the Bug.

1. You got a bug, and you gave clear steps to the developer.
2. Developer does the same steps and he couldn't get the bug.(This is called not-reproducible)
3. Now, since developer couldn't get the bug again, he asks the user to get the bug for him.
4. Now tester will do the same steps and if he gets the bug again, then that is called re-producing the bug.
(Re-Produce bug:-Repeating to produce bug)

Hope you're clear now.
