Severity:seriousness of defect wrt to functionality
!High:without resolving the defect we r unable to continue
testing.
!Medium:compulsory to solve but able to continue
!low:May or may not be resolved.
Prority:Importance of the defect wrt customer
(High,medium,low)
When we go for examples
1.user interface bugs[low severity]
Eg1:Spelling mistake(High priority)
Eg2:Improper allignment(Low priority)
2.Input domain bugs:[medium severity]
Eg1:Doesnot allow valid values(high priority)
Eg2:allows invalid type also(low priority)
3.Race condition bugs[High severity]
Eg1:Deadlock(High priority)
Eg2:improper order or services(Low priority)
like this there r many,but the thing is that as the name
severity itself says seriousness,
based on the seriousness created by the bug we give priority
ie., importance
suggest me if there is any mistake
