    hi

    Reffer to this link http://www.geekinterview.com/talk/15...light=proirity
    posted in software testing then u will get more details of Proirity and severity while looking into this link

    Severity:- The impact of bug in term of application or how crtically it is, will effect the whole system. This severity is given by testers and once the severity is assigned for bug it never change. It is clasified into 4 types
    1. Crtical ( not able to continue test execution ex: file not found, requested URL could not be retrieved)- Showstopper
    2. High ( not able to continue test execution with out resoloving that defect)- Input domain bugs, output come bugs, H/W bugs, Control flow bugs etc....
    3. Medium ( able to continue test execution but manditory to resolve) - Error handlling bugs, Virsion control bugs, source bugs etc...
    4. Low ( able to continue test execution but may or maynot to resolve) - User interface bugs, id control bugs etc....

    Priority:- The impact of bug in terms of client requirements or how quickly we need to be fix bug. This priority is given by TL/PL/CCB/QC and changes may be occur during bug fixing depends upon the time schedule and severity of bug.
    It is classifeed into 3 types
    1. High ( most urgency to fix it)
    2. Medium (no urgent but to fix that defect so early)
    3. Low (less uregency to fix that defect)

    Bug fixing depends upon priority, priority depends upon the severity and time schedule, severity depends upon the functionality of application

    examples for
    1. high priority and low severity - Spelling mistakes in a screen, , wrong logo, logo missing etc..
    2. low priority and high severity - Taking invalid input, final out put is wrong, device is responding wrongly, etc...
    3. high priority and high severity - does not take valid type, dependent outputs are wrong, system deadlocks, etc
    4. Low severity and low proirity - improper alignments

    Re: Priority and severity

    varmakub and bharathi_ark, no one of you have posted the to the point answer.

    vikas_goel28 has asked for example and you are explaining the definitions of severity and priority.


    So, please post according to question.

    1. high priority and low severity (Company logo is not clearly visible)
    2. low priority and high severity (Broken link)
    3. high priority and high severity (Database connectivity bugs)

    In addition to them...

    4. low priority and low severity (User interface bug)

    Re: Priority and severity

    Yes, a tester can decide both severity and priority,it depends on company working process.Even in some company there is combined term for (severity+priority).

    "if company logo is not clearly visible and we can not access inbox then which bug need to be resole first?"

    Both will have equal priority, now it depends on developer, to which he fix first.
