In the provided figure, it starts with S0 (New), moves to S1 (Assigned), then to S2 (Resolved), followed by S3 (Verified). If the defect is not fixed, it can be Re-opened (S5) and goes back for verification (S3). Once verified, it is Closed (S4).Reference: ISTQB Certified Tester Foundation Level (CTFL) v4.0 Syllabus, Section 1.4.3, Page 17.

Wait, is S2 supposed to loop back?

I believe S0 to S1 is the starting point, but I’m uncertain if S3 goes directly to S4 or if it has to go through S5 first.

I have a vague memory that S5 is a final state, but I’m confused about whether it loops back to S1 or not.

I think I practiced a similar question where the sequence was crucial. I feel like S3 leads to S4, but I can't recall the exact order.

I remember that the defect lifecycle involves states like S0, S1, and S2, but I'm not sure about the transitions between them.
