hi Aniyaan,i waana comment on Answer 4
" I agree with u that some times If the
severity is High but priority is low and vice versa..
But in usual it's not the case."
vice versa is also the usual case
suposing in a web application : all the links are working
properly,ur application speed ,etc working fine .but
devloper missed the company logo? what will be the severity
and priority??
In that cases Aniyaan-- Severity is LOW(in terms of
Software application)
But Priority is HIGH--(In terms of Clients Requirements)

Answer / suneel reddy
Seeverity is nothing impsct of that bug on the application.
Priority is nothing but importance to resolve the bug
yeah
of course by looking severity we can judge
but sometimes high severity bug doesnot have high priority
At the same time High pririty bug dont have high severity
So we need both severity and priority

Answer / anniyan
I guess severity reflects the seriousness of the bug where
as priority refers to which bug should rectify first.
ofcourse if the severity is high the same case is with
priority in normal.
More Discussion welcome....

I agree with anniyan..
severity decided by the tester where as priority decided by
developers.
which one need to solve first knows through priority
not with severity.how serious of the bug knows through
severity.

Answer / naresh
Severity explains the way the defect affects the product in
terms of functionality.
Priority explains the way the defect affects the product in
terms of business.
In tester's perspective, priority doesnt have much
importance.
for eg., cosmetic bugs are defects with low severity. but,
some of them, such as spelling mistakes in company's name,
company's punch word or caption affect the business very
badly. they will be given high priority.

Answer / babu r
Severity is nothing but the seriousness of the defect
according to the functionality & Priority is nothing but
the seriousness of the defect according to the client
requirement.
The need of the priority is to know that which bug is to be
fixed first.
