severity: severity of a bug means that how it affects the
functionality of that application. Testers usually
determines the severity of a bug...
priority: priority depends on the severity of a bug. If the
bug is a showstopper, it will be given the highest
priority...likewise priority decreases with the severity...
showstopper has to be fixed within 2hrs...critical within
4hrs...major within 8hr s and it goes on...
