A general Question: If there are two bugs one with high priority and one with high severity, which bug should be fixed first?

Answer Posted / kunal dudka

High Priority & Low Severity:
A spelling mistake in the name of the company on the home
page of the company’s web site is certainly a High Priority
issue. But it can be awarded a Low Severity just because it
is not going to affect the functionality of the Web site /
application.

On the other hand,
High Severity & Low Priority:
System crashes encountered during a roundabout scenario,
whose likelihood of detection by the client is minimal, will
have HIGH severity. In spite of its major affect on the
functionality of the product, it may be awarded a Low
Priority by the project manager since many other important
bugs are likely to gain more priority over it simply because
they are more visible to the client.
