what is difference between severity and priority? what is difference between bug and defect?..

Answer / minu mishra

Basically Bug and Defect are same. Every client has there
own way of naming or calling terminologies. I have recently
heard SIR (software incident Report), Anomaly is also being
used for the same term bug or defect, so it is basically
same no difference. A tester also finds bug or Defect which
could be basically software error/ test script error/
requirement error. This means any software related issue
which doesn’t match with expected result. Customer also
finds bug or defect when they use their product those
defects gets fixed according to the need in next release or
build. If a customer finds show stopper defect(s) or Bug(s)
then it is not tested and approved properly as expected by
the requirement.
