on what basis do the tester asssign severity

Answer Posted / brahma412

tester assigns the severity based on the problems.
there r 4 types of sev .
1.fatal defects:
if at all the problems r related to navigational bolcks or
path bolcks and also unavailability of the main
functionalities (missing part of the main functionaities on
the appl),then test eng will treat problem as fatal
defects.
2.major defects:
if at all the problems r related to functionaly, then test
eng will treat problem as major defects.

3.minor defects:
if at all the problems r related to look and feel defects
(spelling and grammar mistakes and consistence of the
objects) , then test eng will treat problem as minor
defects.
4. suggestion defects:
if at all the problems r related to value of the appli i.e
user friendliness of the appl , then test eng will treat
problem as suggestion defects.

conclusion:::
fatal: navigational path from one page to another page
major: functionlaty is not working properly
minor: look & feel problems like spelling and gramamr
mistakes & alignment of the objects
suggestion: user frindliness of the appl like error msgs
