If you're attending an interview, then it might be worth learning the following which also defines fault and failure for good measure and has the merit of being both brief and logical: Error : Human action or omission that results in a fault. Fault : Fault is a software defect (incorrect step, process or data definition) that causes a failure. Bug : Same as Fault. Failure : The inability of software to perform its required functions within specified performance requirements. In actual practice, the terms error and bug tend to be used interchangeably. However, I tend to think of an error as a fault that shows up at compile time and a bug as a fault that shows up at run time even though it may remain undiscovered for a long period of time.
