Answer / ashok kumar

Defect severity determines the defect criticality whereas defect priority determines the defect immediacy or urgency of repair

1. High Severity & Low Priority:
Suppose there is an application which generates some banking related reports weekly, monthly, quarterly & yearly by doing some calculations. In this application, there is a fault while calculating yearly report. This is a high severity fault but low priority because this fault can be fixed in the next release as a change request.

2. Low Severity & High Priority:
Suppose there is a spelling mistake or content issue on the homepage of BT.com website which has daily lakhs of hits all over UK. In this case, though this fault is not affecting the website or other functionalities but considering the status and popularity of the website in the competitive market it is a high priority fault.

3. High Severity & High Priority:
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.

4. Low Severity & Low Priority:
Suppose there is a spelling mistake on the pages which has very less hits throughout the month on any website. This fault can be considered as low severity and low priority.

and compose mail then its user function down

3. If everything is working and user is not able to logout
from gmail , but to close your gmail account there is
