Answer / brahma
tester assigns the severity based on the problems.
there r 4 types of sev .
1.fatal defects:
if at all the problems r related to navigational bolcks or
path bolcks and also unavailability of the main
functionalities (missing part of the main functionaities on
the appl),then test eng will treat problem as fatal
defects.
2.major defects:
if at all the problems r related to functionaly, then test
eng will treat problem as major defects.
3.minor defects:
if at all the problems r related to look and feel defects
(spelling and grammar mistakes and consistence of the
objects) , then test eng will treat problem as minor
defects.
4. suggestion defects:
if at all the problems r related to value of the appli i.e
user friendliness of the appl , then test eng will treat
problem as suggestion defects.
conclusion:::
fatal: navigational path from one page to another page
major: functionlaty is not working properly
minor: look & feel problems like spelling and gramamr
mistakes & alignment of the objects

Answer / situ
Hi Brahma you have explained very well but normally the
minor one is like this.
when the tester finds missing of some functionality with
referrence to a perticular work flow but having some
alternate solution to execute the same functionality then
it is counted as minor.
