sevirity tells wt as actual impact of that perticular bug to the module.levels can be high ,medium, low..example for high sevirity is if a bug leads to frequent crash of an application..example for medium sevirity is if a bug does not allow u to open next screen of that application...example for low sevirity is if there are missing of some gui objects(push buttons....)

If you have high seviority bugs many, then you or your manager will decide among them which one should be given high priority.

Severity is about how bad it will crash. This is generally set by the tester.Risk is the level of severity times the likelyhood of the bug happening.Priority is about how soon we want it fixed. Often set by the PM.Hi Severity / Low Priority - Bug crashes the browser, but it is an area of a website (for example) that users rarely visit (say 1 in a million). Maybe it is a very nasty bug that shows up on Feb 29th every 4 years ...and you have 3 years to fix it. Note that these are both fairly low risk.Low Severity / Hi Priorty - CEOs name is misspelled on the home page, or maybe a graphic on the homepage renders upside down.

No, According to me Seveority gives based on Functionality and Priority gives based on Customer I think severity means which affects our functionality for eg: Spelling mistake it does not affect our functionality so I can continue my testing so we can give low Severity but incase of Customer it is very important so we will give high priority.
