Answer / praveen.v.n

Severity:
---------
1. This is assigned by the Test Engineer
2. This is to say how badly the devation that is occuring
is affecting the other modules of the build or release.

Priority:
---------

1. This is assigned by the Developer.
2. This is to say how soon the bug as to be fixed in the
main code, so that it pass the basic requirement.
Eg., The code is to generate some values with some vaild
input conditions. The priority will be assigned so based on
the following conditions:
a> It is not accepting any value
b> It is accepting value but output is in non-defined
format (say Unicode Characters).
A good example i used some unicode characters to
generate a left defined arrow, it displayed correctly but
after saving changes it gave some address value from the
stack of this server. For more information mail me i will
let you know.

thanks and regards,
