RE: What are the severity and priority levels in Rati...
I worked on Rational Clear Quest sometime back but do not remember the Severity and Priority levels exactly. But it goes like Critical, Major, Medium, Minor etc....
RE: What are the severity and priority levels in Rati...
The ClearQuest Administrator can probably define these levels to suit the company's individual needs.
I have seen the Priority Levels defined as: 1 - High, 2 - Medium, 3 - Low. The priority level is normally determined by the end-user's need for the fix.
I have seen the Severity Levels defined as: 1 - Critical, 2 - Serious, 3 - Moderate, 4 - Minor, 5 - Cosmetic. The severity level is normally determined by the impact the defect has on the end-user process. Eq: "Can the process progress or are we stopped in our tracks?"

Severity means : Low,medeum and High and That will be decide by the tester and End user but the priority can be LOW,MEDIUM and HIGH that will be decide by the developer.
RE: What are the severity and priority levels in Rati...
Severity and priority is individual to each other. There are totally 3 stages in both severity and priority. Most of the people think that If the severity is High then the priority also High. itz wrong. I am giving some examples for this
                                   Severity                Priority Spelling mistakes          LOW                     HIGH Problem in Fetching the huge data               High                     low at time
