Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -A defect report’s primary purpose is to help the developers quickly reproduce and fix the fault. It is an effective way of communicating and tracking the defect throughout its life cycle.

Detailed explanation-2: -The goal of a defect analysis is to determine the root cause of the defect. The root cause can be defined as the causal or contributing factors that, if corrected, would prevent the recurrence of the identified problem. The ‘factor’ that caused the defect should be permanently eliminated through process improvement.

Detailed explanation-3: -A defect report is a document that includes complete details about the application/software defects, sources, what are the actions needed to resolve them, and the expected result. Developers can check this defect report, understand the problem & its solution and make improvements accordingly.
