Info
Requirements can be covered by Tests, and are the expected results for the system. They don't have to be requirements in a strict sense, but we use this term to simplify the explanation.
Examples: Requirement, Story, Epic, Feature, Improvement and others.
Defects are identified during Tests Executions, and represent a condition in the system that does not meet the requirement or end-user's expectations.
Examples: Defect, Bug, Fault and others.
