Honestly I think they are one in the same all 3.  But here is my best shot.

Bug - code related quality issue.  A requirement is not being met because the code is failing and was written incorrectly.

Error - any thing that has a destrctive or unintended outcome, does not have to be code related.  A user can enter an alpha character in a numeric field and if the system was not required to handle that exception it will most likely result in an error although at the application layer or data layer but yet the system is coded to requirements so its not a bug.

Defect - A quality issue related to the system but I do not see anything different in a defect than a bug.  Defect is just a softer term to a programmer than bug.  Some programmers hate the word bug and would rather hear defect.

I see no problem in these terms used interchangibly for the terms alone are ambiguous themselves without more context.

Bug: - Bug is identified by the tester.

Defect:- Whenever the project is received for the analysis phase ,may be some requirement miss to get or understand most of the time Defect itself come with the project (when it comes).

Error: - when anything is happened wrong in the project from the development side i.e. called as the error, most of the time this knows by the developer.

There is no difference b/w defect & bug.

The mistake Associate program is called Error
