Provide an Example with ‘High severity and low priority’ and ‘Low severity and High priority..

Answer / dhirendra

"High severity and low priority"

Example : Consider a link in a website. If you click on the
link then it will navigate to some other page. So here if
you click on the link & you are not able to invoke the
expected page,then you can not totally test the new page. So
this is a show stopper. So here the severity will be HIGH.
But in terms of developers, this is just a minor issue as
there might be some link address wrongly mentioned in the
HTML page/in the code behind. They can change it in no time.
So for them, the Priority is LOW

"Low severity and High priority"

Example: Lets take a Website. say Microsoft website. Suppose
a tester finds that the Microsoft logo is missing from the
website or the Logo is not properly showing may be not in
properly aligned. So for a tester its a LOW defect.
But for a Developer its High priority as its directly
affecting Microsoft's clients.Because its affecting
business. So the developer has to fix it immediately.
