Answer / srinivas kumar

Hi,

First lest me explain about the topics
seviarity: It tell about the importance of the bug raised
in testing process. The seviarity of the bugs can be
classifed into five types they are

1.Blocker: This bug prevents developers from testing or
developing the software.

2.Critical: The software crashes, hangs, or causes you to
lose data.

3.Major: A major feature is broken.

4.Minor: Minor loss of function, and there's an easy work
around.

5.Cosmatic: It's a bug that should be fixed.

6.Suggestion: Request for new feature or enhancement

When come to Priority: It tells the which bug
has to given first prefernce to rectify the bug

1.Immediate: It has togiven first preference.(Critical &
Block).
2. At the earliest: resolve the defect at the earliest on
priority (Major & Minor).
3. Normal: Resolve the defect (Cosmetic)
4. Later: Could be resolved at later stages.(suggestions)


So, Friends I think Priority can be decided on
the Seviarity

Any Doubts pls contact me my

In waterfall model, while your are coding if you happen to know that one of the requirement was wrong and there will be no use in implementing it and moreover it is going to cause problems to the final output. Then do you have the flexibility to go back and change the requirement? Is this flexibility there in Vmodel?
