Answer / srikanth bc

when the tester identifies a defect, he assigns a severity to it.
severity is nothing but "how severe the bug is".
based on that the tester gives the severity.
ex: if its a show stopper bug the tester gives severity as fatal,if any edit box,radio button or any combo box is not working then he gives the severity as major,if there are any sort of spelling mistakes or graphical issues, then he gives it as minor.These are minor defects because they wont effect the functionality.

Few defects which appear in real time are :
-fatal defects,show stopper defects
ex:when we enter the url,and that particular page not getting displayed
-working of the functionality of application WRT to requirements
-text over lapping
-edit boxes, radio buttons,combo boxes not working accordingly
-navigational issues
-video or image not getting uploaded
and many more........

Extra defects

A requirement incorporated into the product that wasn’t given by the end client. This is usually a discrepancy from the specification, but it also may be characteristic requested by the user of the product.
Nevertheless, it is supposed a defect because it’s a discrepancy from the existing requirements.

Main Types of Defects in Software Testing

Missing defects

The requirement given by the client was not done. This also is a discrepancy from the specifications, an feature that a specification was not performed. It also may mean that requirement of the client wasn’t noted appropriately.

Wrong defects

The requirements have been performed falsely. Actually this defect is a discrepancy from the given specification.
