Hi,
ex: If a client having some particular logo on the home
page,if that logo is missing then the bug status is high
priority and low seveority.
Because of this bug the functionality is not stopping in
the application.
But as per client it is very important.
So the status will be high priority & low seveority.

Answer / sidhartha
Most of the people portray "LOGIN" example when they are
asked about SEVERITY and PRIORITY in the interviews.
Instead of making this as a standard example, we will try
to give them a simple and more realistic example. This is
nothing but "Thinking out of the box", one of the good
characteristics that a test engineer should possess.
We'll first see very simple definitions of Severity and
Priority -
Severity: Severity means how badly it harms the system
Priority means how urgently bug is needed to be fixed
Now, we will try to design examples based on the different
combinations of Severity & Priority.
1. High Severity & Low Priority:
If you found that there is major crash in the functionality
of the application but the crash lies in the module which
is not delivered in the deliverables in this case the
priority is low Severity is high.
2. High Severity & High Priority:
When application doesn't start
Installation failures
When there is a show-stopper before testing the actual
specification. For example, testing the 'SAVE DRAFT'
functionality is my requirement and the application is
failing while composing the mail itself. Without composing
an email, I cannot test if the 'SAVE DRAFT' functionality
is working fine or not.
3. Low Severity & High Priority:
For example there is cosmetic change in the clients name
and you found this bug at the time of delivery, so the
severity of this bug is low but the priority is high
because it affects to the business.
4. Low Severity & Low Priority:
Spelling errors in documentation
Cosmetic issues will have low priority until they are close
to the delivery date.
Any functional failure during the exceptional cases and
almost never such scenario appears at the customer. For
example, customer is using a ORDER TRACKING SYSTEM in
which ‘Quantity’ is a integer type field to enter the
number of cement bags used. Application throws a database
error when the quantity is entered either ‘0’
or ‘10000000000’ (1 plus 10 zeros). This type of issue will
have low priority, which is an exceptional scenario from
the customer’s regular business process; but still we have
to fix it.

Answer / n t
A simple and steady example is login screen.
Suppose there are only two lebels "UserId" and "PassWd"
field.
In place of "UserId" text by mistake it is "UseQ". And all
other functionalities are working fine.
This is a low severirt and high priority defect.

Answer / swapna
Eg> if an application launches perfectly 100 times but
after that it gets blocked. In this case the severity will
be high and priority will be low, as it's not affecting the
functionality of an application.

Simple Example
For The Allinteview.com site in the top left of the site it
is displaying site name AllInterview.com instead of this
some spell mistake is there for eg: AliInterview.com it
will be considered as High priority with low Severity bug.
The solution for this bug is very simple for the Developers
an it is not effecting any modules in the site that
indicate Low Severity.
If I am wrong plz mail me

For example assume that the length of the USERNAME and
PASSWORD in the login screen is 30 (max) while testing
you came to know that it gives server error if you give
UESERNAME and Password above 25 character.
So this will be the bug with High Priority Becoz it is
displaying server error but in real time nobody is going
to give USERNAME and PASSWORD that much long so this problem
can be handled later so low severity.
Correct me if i am wrong
