Severity- Severity of the bug refers to the impact of the
bug on the Application Under Test. Severity is always
assigned by the tester. Severity types can differ from
company to company.
Generally there are 4 types
1) Critical e.g. Application Crash or Data loss
2) High e.g Application crash but does not result
in data loss
3)Medium- e.g Functionality not working but can be done
other way around
Low- e.g. Cosmetics bugs have the lowest severity.
