Hi ...all


examples for high  Severity  and Low
priority defects is..

For example java script validation to a textbox for phone 
number.
like devloper given option to user to enter "-" after STD 
code. Now user have option to enter "-" after STD code. 
user may enter "-" or may not.

But in Database. For example user1 entered his phone number 
like this 040-222222
and User2 entered his phone number like this 040222222.
and User3 entered his phone number like this 171222222

 Here problem is..If user didnot entered STD code. and 
developer may consider the first three digits are STD.


This sitiation comes under high Severity  and Low
priority defect. 

Plz tell me if iam incorrect.

High Severity Defects :

product,product hangs,os freezes,data corrution,product 
abnormally shuts down

Low Priority Defects :

Mispelling,graphical errors,enhancement request,program 
flaws

The feature which is optional in your application and if it 
gives some error(eg. server error) so, this will become low 
priorty because it is optional feature and it is high 
severity because of crash.

High Severity & Low Priority

Here if there is bug due to which the application will crash
and cannot work on the further. But this bug will be
occurred for only 1 in 1000 customers and also to get that
bug the user has to follow some specif steps(might 5 to 10
steps in order). so here the bug severity is high but it has
low priority as mostly the customers don't the steps where
in they will get that bug.

High Priority & Low Severity

Suppose the name of your applicais wrongly spelt in the
application developed it might degrade your company's
reputation, so here the bug priority is high but its
severity is low as it does not affect the functionality of
the application... Hope this answer will satisfy your
question...

Seriousness - seriousness of defect with resepect to 
functionality (high,middium,low)

Priority - importants of defects with respects to customer
(high,middium,low)

High Severity - calculation bug
High Priority - Dependant output wrong, or page crash 
(spell wrong or logo missing)
Low severity - user interface bug(spell mistake)
Low priority - improper allignment
