tell me about severity and priority with example..

Answer / sj1234

Severity means the Impact of the Bug on the Applicaton

Priority is how urgernt the bug needs to be fixed

Severity can be High or Low
Priority can be High or Low

1]High Severity And Low Priority----If there is an
application , if that application crashes after mulple use
of any functionality (exa--save Button use 200 times then
that application will crash)

Means High Severity because application chrashed but Low
Priority because no need to debug right now you can debug
it after some days.

2]High Priority And Low Severity---- If any Web site
say "Yahoo" now if the logo of site "Yahoo" spell s "Yho" -
---Than Priority is high but severity is low.

Because it effect the name of site so important to do
quick ---Priority

but it is not going to crash because of spell chage so
severity low
