Description

Verifying a fix checks that the bug has been fixed correctly and does not break any existing functionality. After a bug has been fixed by a developer, it is up to the tester to verify that the test case now runs successfully. If the test case runs successfully, the bug can be closed. Otherwise, the bug is reassigned back to the developer.
