Answer Posted / bhuvana raks
Severity is the seriousness of the defect or bug in terms
of functionality.severity of a bug is technical in nature
and Can be said to be how bad a defect is.
Priority is the importance of defect in terms of customer's
requirements.Priority is usually more of a business
decision and would depend on the business objective of the
application and how its owners see the bug.
1.High severity & low priority:
If your software is to be released yet and you wil as a
tester wil do some actions(which a normal user wil not do)
and which will cause runtime error in the application. This
wil result in high severity but low priority as the
application gave error its severe but as the particular
action is generally not performed by a normal user its of
low priority.
2. Low severity & High Priority
If you are testing a website and if u find a spelling
mistake like wipra in place of wipro then its of high
priority but low severity as it doesnt affect the basic
functionality of the application but has to be corrected
before release.
3. High severity & High Priority
If you are testing a application and if your application
quits all of the sudden giving run time error this would be
show stopper bug since you cannot proceed in further
operations. This wud be high severity and high priority bug.
4. Low severity & low priority bug
defects like color combination, small spellings, grammar,
overall cosmetic defects.
