Severity and priority are the two terms which shows the
bug/issue behavior. which is mention in the issue tracking
system.

Severity and priority is change as per the company standards.
In my company Severity and priority display as fallows.

Severity :- Blocker,High,Medium,Low,Trivial.
Priority :- 5,4,3,4 and 1 ( '5' is highest priority )

I am trying to explain the how to assign the Severity and
priority of bug with the help of ATM software example.

1) Low Severity and Low priority bug.

a) Go to the ATM center and perform as fallows.
b) Login in the ATM with your password.
c) After successful login try to withdraw money with
printed statement.

But machine withdraw money and not printed the statement.
(So this bug assign as a Low Severity and Low priority bug.)

2) High Severity and Low priority bug.

a) Go to the ATM center and perform as fallows.
b) Login in the ATM with your password.
c) After successful login try to check balance and try to
withdraw money.

But ATM machine not display balance and able to withdraw
money. (So this bug assign as a High Severity and Low
priority bug.)

3) Low Severity and High priority bug.

a) Go to the ATM center and perform as fallows.
b) Login in the ATM with your password.
c) After successful login try to check balance and try to
withdraw money.

But ATM machine display balance and not able to withdraw
money. (So this bug assign as a Low Severity and High
priority bug.)

4) High Severity and High priority bug.

a) Go to the ATM center and perform as fallows.
b) Login in the ATM with your password.
c) After successful login try to check balance and try to
withdraw money.

But ATM machine get crash every time after successful login.
(So this bug assign as a High Severity and High priority bug.)

This way you can assign the Severity and priority to the bug.

Answer / purni

Priority,
This assigned by the developer. Represents the
importance of the bug. For eg. #1 priority bugs need to be
fixed before the #2 priority bugs. #1 and #2 are the
priorities that they assigned.

Severity
Represents how bad is the bug. For eg. a bug that
causes to crash the application are considered as the high
severity bugs and need to fix them immediately.

Answer / kiran reddy

Assigning severity and priority is as below:

Any thing that is critical to business for instance if an
application is crashing or not responding.
EX: If you performed a search and the results are not
displayed at all or if the screen is frozen then consider as
severity one.

if the background color is supposed be white but its in red
then the severity is low.

Answer / sujatha

1. If the application is not opening i.e we cannot move
further then both the severity and the priority is high.

2. The functionality is not working which is part , then
the severity is medium and the priority is also medium.

3. The GUI part i.e some spelling wrong , then the severity
is low but the priority is high ( user point of view).

4.Suppose usability i.e tab order the severity is low and
also the priority is also low( because the client uses only
the mouse).
