Answer / sj1234

Example of high severity & low priority bug?

Suppose there is an application which generates some
banking related reports weekly, monthly, quarterly & yearly
by doing some calculations. In this application, there is a
fault while calculating yearly report. This is a high
severity fault but low priority because this fault can be
fixed in the next release as a change request.


High Severity And Low Priority----If there is an
application , if that application crashes after mulple use
of any functionality (exa--save Button use 200 times then
that application will crash)

Means High Severity because application chrashed but Low
Priority because no need to debug right now you can debug
it after some days.

tell me about high severity & low priority bug?..

Answer / geeta

the above answear Rafi said is correct.

Generally the Terms Seviority and Priority are having the
same meaning

The term Seviority is used by the Test engineers, where as
the term Priority is given by the Developers

the term high and low can be used depending on the bug how
far which impacted the application/functinality.

if any of the functionality is not working in Testing
Environment then Test engineers will give name as high
severity for that, suppose the same functionality is out of
scope/under development, Developers will assign low
priority for that

this is what i understood
pls correct me if im wrong.
