Based on the analysis of the IT authoritative organization or corporation's definition of defect, this paper uses the idea "software process is also software" and extends the definition to the software process. People more and more attach importance to the software defect management, which is one important part of software project development management. But at present time, the technology of defect management and the tools of defect management have some deficiency, as following:(1) Defect management only aims at the defect found in the testing. The defect data collection is not set in the whole software process.(2) Defect management adopts the passive mode "finding defect, fixing defect and regressing test", not feeds back the defect management information into the software process, and not reaches software process improvement.(3) Defect management only aims at one concrete project, not at the whole project development team, and not introduces the defect defend.(4) Defect management doesn't consider the relationship of defect. This will cause more repeated efforts and affect work efficiency.This paper proposes the defect management technology combined with software process tightly. Mainly considers that we should extend the defect collection to the different phase of the software process and to all the activity of the software quality assurance. Considering some relationship of defects (depending relationship, repetition relationship, introduction relationship and correlation relationship), people can use of these relationships when they fix the defect. At the same time, combines defect management with the requirement management tightly. This makes defect can be traced in the whole software process, at last improves software process by defect management.
