Hi
Here are the Different opinions on severity and priority 
posted by different users on allinterview earlier.


1.Severity means seriousness of the Bug..Priority means 
which one should rectify first..


2. severity means How badly it is affecting on function.
Priority means How important it is to fix that bug.

3.
Severity - Impact of bug in the application. 
Priority - Effect of bug in the application.

4.Severity - Impact of defect on the product.Severity types 
is given by testers.
Priority - Depends on Business logic.Proority is given by 
business people or product manager in the company.

5. severity-the seriousness of the defect with respect to 
functionality
priority- thre importance of the defect with respect to
customersite


6.Severity:Means how severe the bug is and to what extent 
its affecting the application
Priority:When we want the developer to fix the bug
E.g:if P1 is the priority given to a bug then the developer 
should fix the bug at the earliest


7.severity is nothing but  impact of the bug on the 
application

priority is nothing but importance to resolve the bug from 
customer point of view

Seviarity = it relative to impact of the defect.(Immediate 
stop, High,medium , Low)

Priority = It relative to importance of defect with 
respective to the Customer.(High,Medium , Low)

Sevirity is one which determines the Functional 
Requirements.
Priority is one which determines the User Requirements

Hi,

First lest me explain about the topics 
seviarity: It tell about the importance of the bug raised 
in testing process. The seviarity of the bugs can be 
classifed into five types they are 

1.Blocker: This bug prevents developers from testing or 
developing the software.

2.Critical: The software crashes, hangs, or causes you to 
lose data.

3.Major: A major feature is broken.

4.Minor: Minor loss of function, and there's an easy work 
around.

5.Cosmatic: It's a bug that should be fixed.

6.Suggestion: Request for new feature or enhancement

            When come to Priority: It tells the which bug 
has to given first prefernce to rectify the bug

1.Immediate: It has togiven first preference.(Critical & 
Block).
2. At the earliest: resolve the defect at the earliest on 
priority (Major & Minor).
3. Normal: Resolve the defect (Cosmetic)
4. Later: Could be resolved at later stages.(suggestions)


          So, Friends I think Priority can be decided on 
the Seviarity
