An incident is raised when actual results differ from expected results. It is also called a bug, defect, problem, or issue. Incident management tracks incidents through their lifecycle and is important for determining a project's status. Details normally included in an incident report are the date, scope, severity, expected and actual results, environment, description to reproduce the issue, and status. Incidents go through a lifecycle of being new, assigned, tested, reopened, closed, or marked as not a bug. Tools help facilitate incident management.
