if suppose there is a road accident the people who went 
into serious condition will give high priority and hight 
seviority.

in functional if suppose there is a customer meeting about 
the project, the simple things like spell check of login 
screen etc will have the high seviority and high priority.

susmitha your answer general in nature i don't want 
road accident like examples.
I want realtime s/w related answers.
Please try to provide that type of answers.

Suppose there is an application which gives some banking 
related reports weekly, monthly, quarterly & yearly by 
doing some calculations. In this application, there is a 
fault while calculating weekly report. This is a high 
severity and high priority fault because this fault will 
hamper the functionality of the application immediately 
within a week. It should be fixed urgently.

Thank you ajaya 
but still anwer in generic in nature, i need some more 
precise answer
-Rajendra

Suppose any Button on the interface through which personal/ 
secerate 
record of org. get accessed & tht button is available only 
for the top MGT 
ppls. But aas defect in the system it's also made available 
to all ppls.

So just think about it it's have high severity coz org. 
secerates can be theft frm thr & tht wil definity affect 
the org. as a whole if they loose thr secerates to thir 
enimies. High priority bcoz it's dangerious if in hands of 
all so need to fix as soon as or can say as early as 
possible.

HI,
   If an application gives any error at the time of 
customer usage,then it will high severity to the testing 
team n high priority to the company

Just take an example of online banking application login 
screen if you are entering correct username  ans wrong 
password .... it should not accept you to  access ,if it 
accepts ...we can say  this as high priority and high 
severity  ...it depends on the functionality  ......as  
well as the application .......
i hope iam right if not plz correct me .
Thank u .

i am not agree for the above answers,Its major issue
in the application, its varies from complex functionalities
in the application. for example , some functionality having
major issue crashing the application and it faces more 
number of customers or enduser(say 100+people) then its
comes under high priority from the customer prospective,
and high severioty from the business impact prospective.
so developers has to fix immediatetly. i think it's clear.
-by Wipro technologies

for example,we can consider the GUI defects as minor 
defects with low priority, but during a demo to the 
customer we need to consider this minor as major and should 
give high priority. and fields validation can also be 
considered as major with high priority based on the 
customer requirements.

Please correct me if iam wrong.

All the run time Errors and calculation Errors comes under 
high priority and high severity

i.e When u r unable to move further in your application, no 
work around is possible then it comes under high priority 
and high severity.

suppose for example when u are testing any financial 
application and that is accepting -ve data and all the 
transactions are resulting in -ve values then we can say 
this is of high Priority and high severity.

If iam wrong pls correct me.

Hi...
        Here we'll consider an ex of a data base mgmt s/m, 
when we edit a customer data, automatically it should 
overwrite the existing data base..but if it creates a new 
record.. it affects the functionality of edit, and this 
kind of error is considered as high severity and priority

I think we have given enough answer for this question.. u 
should move on..

If a crash is occurring in the application and the build is
ready to be sent to the client, then the priority and
severity both will be high.....

IF the bulit is ready for release, and there is a
functionality to save the data into the page but when we
click on the save button then application as crashing and
not able to save it
then we can this type of bugs as High severity and High priority

High priority and high severity deines that, How much above 
bugs are affects our s/w.
tester T/L only to decided that how this bug is affectt.
suppose, we have a calculation s/w and the button of (+)is 
not to working correct or not shown total amount after 
additon. then t/l has to decided that which type of bug and 
how it affect our s/w.

severity has to be major or minor depends on Bugs.
Priority has low or high depends also on tester T/L or 
developer.

None of the answers meets the requirements. The query is to
have the real time examples which can give the clear picture
about the differences about the HP & HS. Can any body let me
know, if a defect is of High Priority then why should i also
mention it as HS. If anybody can answer it to the perfect.

Please review the answer below : 

High Priority : Suppose while testing the portal If I am not
able to save the data, then it is high pririty defect need
to be fixed , since its an important part of the portal.


High Severity : In case if I am not able  to  save the data
due to which there is a big impact on the  portal flow and
more number of requirements are being affected then tester
will mention it as High Severity  defect.
