1. Severity means how severe the bug is? and priority means which bug should be given resolved. severity is decided by testing team and priority is decided by develepment team.
3.Error: the difference between the actual result(the result generated from the build) and expected result(customer requirements specified in SRS).
Defect: if that error is identified by testing team that is called as defect and then that is given to development team
Bug: if the defect is accepted by the development team that is considered as bug.
5. Smoke testing is done by development team before releasing the build (the executable file which is ready to test) to the testing team

RE: What is Severity and Priority and who will decide ...
1.Severity is the complexity of the bug and its impact on the application
2. Priorty is how immediately the bug needs to be fixed.
The developer decides the Priority
Smoke Testing is a non-exhausitve software Testing wherby the finer details are not considerd.
Web Based Application : Here you are goin to check the application which is going to be launched on the interent or intranet. It means in the form of Web Pages.
Client Server Application : Basically the application use lan which is Client and Server.The Exe file of the application is stored at the Server and called from the Client and access all the database stored in the application.

Severity means the seriousness of the defect on the functionalityPriority means the importance of the defect to reslove interms of customersSmoke Testing means test engineers estimate stability of the build. This will be done when testing team receives intial build from development team to estimate the stability of build before start of real testing

In product based Industry Priority is given by PD Team (Product Design) in case client is not presentIn Project based Industry Priority is given by Client(Because he knows what is required for his business)Seviority is given by Tester.
RE: What is Severity and Priority and who will decide ...
Severity and priority both are decided by tester only and both have different impact.
Severity depends on effort development team needed to resolve any issue. while priority depend on impact of the bug
let me explain with an example..Suppose we are creating one web page and we have to give demo to client. and suddenly tester has found some spelling mistake on web page heading so such bug Severity should be less but it priority should be high
Severity depends on effort development team needed to resolve any issue.
RE: What is Severity and Priority and who will decide what?Can Automation testing replace manual testing? If it so, how?What ifs the difference between defect, error, bug, failure, fault?What is the diff between Client Server & Web Based Testing?What is S
Severity: When we find a defect we needed to find out how much impact the defect is created to the application if the impact is more than the severity will be high if impact is less than the severity will be low
Priority: While dealing with defects developers need to give importance to the defects giving priority is based on the importance of the defect and situation.
Who will decide what: Severity will be given by Tester and priority is given Tester or Developer
Can Automation testing replacement of manual testing: NO automation testing is an extension of Manual Testing in order to take less time & accuracy while execution
