After finding a defect, testers produce a formal defect report. The primary objective of defect report is to state the problem precisely so that developers can replicate the defect easily and fix it as soon as possible.

A defect report consists of several elements such as defect ID, project, product, summary, description, attachments, and to name a few. Your defect report should be very specific, detailed, objective oriented, reproducible. Also, the tester should review the defect report before submitting.
