Priority will be given as per the client requirements.

Severity will be given as per the degree of the impact of failing a program.

In general high priority will be given to the bugs with high severity.

A cosmotic bug (such as spell mistakes design flaws...) on the GUI welcome page can be a better example for a bug with High Priority but with Low Severity.

And to quote an example for a bug with High Severity n Low Priority varies from time to time and situation to situation. Such as failing a module link in an application which is not yet brought into production and all....and u can see such situations very often in the Support Development(Maintenance) seldom in the New Development environment.

On what basis we give priority and severity for a bug and give me one example for high priority and low severity and high severity and low priority?

Always the Priority is given by our T.L Tester will never give the priority ... Ok

I will some example for

High Severity :- H/W Bugs Application crash.

Low Severity :- User Interface Bugs

High Priority :- Error message is not comming on time caculation Bugs etc..

Low Priority :- Wrong Alighment Final Output Wrong.

If u want more type of bug mail to me

shyam.meghansh@gmail.com

SHYAM is right over here...just to add more detail...

Severity: 1 -- App Crash...or Big Ugly Server errors...which will hamper our ability to do the basic functionality

Sev 2 -- These are more interesting bugs involving Business Logic...or formulae

Sev 3: A little less severe than sev 2

Sev 4: Cosmetic..or UI things....

Priority is set in Triage meetings and many times the Testers also make the decision or atleast have a word to say...

Priority:The Importance of defect interm of customer. Ex:High Medium low.

Severity:The seriousness of defect interm of functionality.

Ex:High:Manditory to resolve and urgent.

Medium:Manditory to resolve but not urgent.

low:May or May not to resolve.

Race condition bugs:(High severity).

EX: 1.Hang or dead lock is High priority.

2. wrong order of functionalites.

Mr. Shyam Prasad

Are u sure that Tester never gives Priority? I think it may be in your company but in my company and some of the companies which i came across Priority is also given by the tester. Depending on this Seviority and Priority of an Bug the Status is declared with which the development team will act (i.e. wheather to fix the bug imediately or can be fixed later)

Above is to my knowledge if u have any coments please mail me up.

Thanks
