should be fixed and delivered.Priority is majorly depends
on customers expectation.
Severity - The nature of the bug or issue.It is exactly the
problem level in the product.

Difference between bug and defect

The term bug and defect almost similar. Ultimately it
refers to the problem in the code.
But in the real time , we call a bug as something
identified by the tester (i.e, before delivering a product)
and defect is identified by the customers(i.e., once the
product is delivered)
