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

Answer Posted / shahwali

severity : The impact of the defect raised on the
application/system

priority : The urgency to fix that defect(how fast or by
what time the defect should be fixed)


Example for High Severity & Low Priority

wrong order of the functionalities

say there are 4 functionlities, the order should be

1)User Name
2)Password
3)Company
4)Branch

but in the actual apllication its like

1)User Name
2)Password
3)Branch
4)Company

here the order is wrong but the module is performing the
required task.

Example for Low Severity & High Priority

Imagine a web-site of an organization. The organization
name is spelled wrongly, the severity here is low (i.e.
impact is minimal) but the urgency to fix the defect would
be high as it is the name of the company (i.e priority is
high and it should be fixed ASAP)
