Sentence: I closed this defect after re-tested it.

English as a Second Language English Vocabulary, Grammar and Idioms

I was able to finish this task. So this Issue (A Defect posted while testing.) has been closed. (I closed this defect after re-tested it.)

Here, is the second sentence correct?
OR
Do I need to write - So this Issue (A Defect posted while testing.) is closed.

.
Defects are normally neither ‘posted’ nor ‘closed’. You need to worry more about vocabulary than grammar; there is no important difference here between ‘has been’ and ‘is’.

Thank you very much Micawber.

I have been thinking about this issue:
Do I need to open a different Thread each time, whenever I want to know a small thing. Or, can I just include the question in an existing Thread.

“I need one clarification from you Joseph”
is this correct usage of “clarification”.
(The context here is, I need to get some details/one sentence answer/acceptance from Joseph)

It is better to open a new thread when you change topic. Thread storage rates are extremely cheap, so there is no budget problem.

‘Clarification’ is usually uncountable, so I suggest “I need some clarification from you, Joseph.”
