Severity:seriousness of defect wrt to functionality

!High:without resolving the defect we r unable to continue
testing.
!Medium:compulsory to solve but able to continue
!low:May or may not be resolved.

Prority:Importance of the defect wrt customer
(High,medium,low)
When we go for examples
1.user interface bugs[low severity]
Eg1:Spelling mistake(High priority)
Eg2:Improper allignment(Low priority)

2.Input domain bugs:[medium severity]
Eg1:Doesnot allow valid values(high priority)
Eg2:allows invalid type also(low priority)

3.Race condition bugs[High severity]
Eg1:Deadlock(High priority)
Eg2:improper order or services(Low priority)
like this there r many,but the thing is that as the name
severity itself says seriousness,
based on the seriousness created by the bug we give priority
ie., importance
