I can speak for Bugzilla, but I'm not familiar with Jira.

Out of the box, Bugzilla's bug lifecycle looks like this: http://www.bugzilla.org/docs/2.18/html/lifecycle.html. When a developer is working on the bug, the status will be "Assigned".

An organization may choose to customize the lifecycle though. For example, I once worked for a company that had an additional state called "In QA", which sat between "Resolved" and "Closed". The "In QA" state meant that the developer believed the bug was fixed and the fix had been deployed to the company's QA environment.

On Jira, when a developer works on that bug,the task is "in progress"(there is on left side - Start progress) and when the task is finished and he sends the task to QA, he selects "Test Issue" - status "in testing". After testing, the QA approves or rejects the task, depending on the result of testing.

see hemavathi....devloper will change d status when he went on to the bug probably might be ny case is it fixed,rejected,cant reproduce............so dont say its just fixed status from developer side status can vary from company to company hope u get me nw :)
