Answer / srinivas kumar

Hi,

First lest me explain about the topics
seviarity: It tell about the importance of the bug raised
in testing process. The seviarity of the bugs can be
classifed into five types they are

1.Blocker: This bug prevents developers from testing or
developing the software.

2.Critical: The software crashes, hangs, or causes you to
lose data.

3.Major: A major feature is broken.

4.Minor: Minor loss of function, and there's an easy work
around.

5.Cosmatic: It's a bug that should be fixed.

6.Suggestion: Request for new feature or enhancement

When come to Priority: It tells the which bug
has to given first prefernce to rectify the bug

1.Immediate: It has togiven first preference.(Critical &
Block).
2. At the earliest: resolve the defect at the earliest on
priority (Major & Minor).
3. Normal: Resolve the defect (Cosmetic)
4. Later: Could be resolved at later stages.(suggestions)


So, Friends I think Priority can be decided on
the Seviarity

Any Doubts pls contact me my
