The bug life cycle refers to the series of stages that a defect or bug goes through from its initial identification to its resolution. The stages typically include:

New: The bug is reported and logged.
Assigned: The bug is assigned to a developer for investigation.
Open: The developer analyzes and works on fixing the issue.
Fixed: The developer implements a fix for the bug.
Verified: The testing team verifies the fix in a test environment.
Closed: The bug is confirmed as resolved and closed.
Reopened: If the bug persists after being closed, it's reopened for further fixing.
