Abstract: The research paper presents an in-depth study of the "Defect Diary" project, an innovative web application designed to address the challenges encountered in defect management during software development. The primary objective of the application is to provide a centralized platform where users can record and store details about defects along with their corresponding solutions. This facilitates knowledge sharing among software development teams, leading to more efficient defect resolution processes.

The research paper elaborates on the planning, design, implementation, testing, and deployment phases of the project, showcasing a well-organized and predictable development process. An exhaustive analysis of the functional requirements of the application is provided in the research paper. Each requirement is thoroughly addressed, offering a comprehensive solution for defect identification, resolution details, related keywords, and more. The paper also explores the user interface design of the application, presenting wireframes and mockups that demonstrate the application's visual appeal and user-friendly nature. Rigorous testing and quality assurance processes were conducted to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the application. Test scenarios and test cases were devised, validating the application's robustness and adherence to functional requirements.

Overall, the research paper offers valuable knowledge for software developers, testers, and organizations interested in improving their defect management practices. The "Defect Diary" project exemplifies the successful application of software engineering principles to create a user-centric and efficient defect management solution.
