Answer / sandhya reddy
Severity - Impact of defect on the product.Severity types
is given by testers.
Priority - Depends on Business logic.Proority is given by
business people or product manager in the company.
A defect may have high Severity but low priority coz it
may not be involved in business logic.
Bug-Conformed defect is called bug.it is said to be bug
only at developer place.
Defect-Any functionality is wrong then it is said to be
defect by testers.It turns to bug only at developers place.

Answer / softwaretester
Severity - Impact of bug in the application.
Priority - Effect of bug in the application.
Bug = when a tester gets any difference in application from
its requirement then it is called as bug.
Defect = when the customer finds any difference from
requirement or if the application doesn't work properly
then it is called defect

Answer / tester
Difference between severity and priority
Priority - It is something related to the scheduling. i.e.,
the urgency of the issue and the time period on which it
should be fixed and delivered.Priority is majorly depends
on customers expectation.
Severity - The nature of the bug or issue.It is exactly the
problem level in the product.
Difference between bug and defect
The term bug and defect almost similar. Ultimately it
refers to the problem in the code.
But in the real time , we call a bug as something
identified by the tester (i.e, before delivering a product)
and defect is identified by the customers(i.e., once the
product is delivered)
