We should consider and try to handle the bug of high priority because it may be possible that a bug have high severity but low priority .lets take a example of banking site a bug is raised of calculating the interest of account annually so if we see this bug in may month .we have time of 11 month to remove this bug because after 11 month this software is used again.

Answer / mudaseer
high severity bug
if i am testing an application and if the app is crashing
then then the severity is high then it should be fixed
because i cant test the entire flow if the application is
crashing
major spelling is high priority but not high severity
because it wont affect the testing but before releasing to
the client we have to fix it
so the order is high severity and high priority

As the name priority itself describes urgency to fix the defect
So high priority defect should be fixed first

Answer / 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.

Answer / lalit jadhav
Generally speaking, a "High Severity" bug would also carry a
"High Priority" tag along with it. However this is not a
hard & fast rule. There can be many exceptions to this rule
depending on the nature of the application and its schedule
of release.
Also,
Severity refers to the seriousness of the bug on the
functionality of the product. Higher effect on the
functionality will lead to assignment of higher severity to
the bug.
Hence, Severity must be solved first before priority.
