Defect leakage

What is defect leakage?

Defect leakage refers to the number or percentage of software bugs that are not detected during a specific phase of testing but are discovered in later stages, such as user acceptance testing (UAT) or after the product is released to customers. It indicates gaps in the testing process and is used as a metric to assess the effectiveness of quality assurance.
