Hi Arno,
You can model both activity states and object states with an Activity
diagram. The bug you refer to (a.k.a. defect record) is an object, and can
be in such identifiable states as [to test] [in test] and [closed]'. The
activity states of your testing process would be along the lines of Plan
Test, Setup Test, Perform Test and Evaluate Results. Connect object to
activity states using dependency associations. You can also show who does
what (assign responsibility) using swimlanes.

STATE: "To Test" indicates that the developer has fixed the bug and assigned
> it to a tester
> STATE: "In Test" indicates that a tester is testing the specific bug.
> ACTIVITY: "testing" indicates the action 'testing'
> STATE: "Closed" indicates that the tester has found that the bug is
solved.
