📖What it means
Something not behaving as designed. Distinct from a violation, which is something behaving exactly as built and against the rules — the two need different fixes.
⚖️What it is NOT
The neighbours this word is most often confused with, and the line between them.
Not: Compliance violation
A defect is broken; a violation is working as built and against the rules.
Not: Audit finding
A defect is a fault in behaviour; a finding is an observation about a rule.
