give me an example of high severity and low priority.And
low severity and high priority

Answer Posted / abdul.sameer

1.Low Severity and High priority:-
Let us discuss with a simple login screen.

Enter username and enter password and press login button,
if it is not accepting it then it would be difficult for
end-users to work with the application.For this scenario the
impact would be very high like lot of end-user may not
complete there task. which is high priority but solving them
is really simple just go to database and check the login
connection and re-set the password which takes only few min
to solve but until solved it is stopping lot of end-user to
complete there task. so priority is high ( to be resolved
immediately but resolving is simple so low severity).

High Severity and low priority:-
suppose we are having an application where we enter
employees record and assingn subjects they teach. Now we
have entered an new employee record and save it and assigned
subjects to it. Now if we want to modify the the subject
assigned to some other and try to save it is showing an
error message unable to save. For this scenario if we enter
the details perfectly we can complete the task and no need
to change and modification takes place rarely so we can go
through the application without any disturbance. but to
solve the problem of modication the developers has to go to
the entire code and might takes place to solve that and
might cause some side effects too. so impact is less but
solving the problem is very high . so this reason it is
called high severity and low priority.

this might help you in clarification.
