Following example for High severity and low priority...
There is any syntax or logical error or database related
issues we can say severity, and in GUI any problem like
simply we can say Font sizes are different...
For developers logical,runtime bugs are important to fix...
For Client GUI is very important...

Hi,
Here am just giving my view or opinion
1) Defect with high severity and low priority ?
Scenario:
On click of some link if the application is crashing but
that link is not going to be delivered for this build, then
the severity is high but the priority is low.
2) Defect with high priority and low severity:
Suppose a company has finished the implementation and
testing of a product and is about to deliver to the client.
But on the delivery day, tester found that on the welcome
page of that product the company name is say "Compny" but
actually the name of the industry is say "Company". So in
this case the severity of the bug is low but the priority is
high as it has to be fixed immediately.
Guys, it is just my view, now its your turn to rectify me if
am wrong.

Answer / rainishant
Suppose a web site is developed for a client. The client
does not like the font color of a particular page. He can
report a bug with priority P0 (heighest) but since this is
not affecting the functionality of the site so its severity
is low (trivial) so high priority and low severity.
Suppose there are 2 links on a page 1. contact us, Shopping
cart.
Suppose this is a shopping portal.
Shopping cart link goes to a page which says Thaks for
shopping. and contact us link opens a blank page. Here both
the link are showing wrong pages so the severity is same
but fixing the link Shopping cart is high ( as the site is
meant for that) and for link contact us can be low.

Answer / sujatha
High Priority and Low severity:
GUI related will come under low severity , but in client
view it is very important, then we will mark it as high
severity.
ex: button color, textbox size etc.
High severity and Low priority
Some functionality is not working in the application which
is of high severity, but the priority is low because the
user/client is not going to use that functionality.
