Assigning a priority to test case is very much different
from assigning a priority to a bug.
When it comes to why we need to assign a priority to test
case, let me take you through a scenario. For example take
the yahoo login page. This has 4 generic combinations
1. Correct Username, correct password - P0
2. Correct Username, wrong password - P1
3. Wrong Username, correct password - P1
4. Wrong, username, wrong password - P2
If you see, I have assigned a priority to each case above.
P0 being highest priority and P2 being the least priority.
While preparing the test cases, we need to consider all
different inputs that an application can take and from
randomised sources. Some cases, you may feel are very basic
and need not test, but as tester, it is our responsibility
to list them. During this, for any such scenario we assign
a low priority. So depending on the time frame and the
quality bar defined to us, we start executing the test
cases based on their priority. If time does not permit, we
may leave side the low priority test cases.
Most of the release criterias would be to execute and fix
100% of the P0 and P1 testcases and bugs.

why is it necessary to give a priority to the test cases
or/and requirements?
Issue priority is the order in which issues are addressed
by developers.
In Companies, issues are triaged by supervisory personnel,
who may adjust the severity level and who will then assign
the issue a priority and dispatch it to a developer for
remediation.
Developers are expected to remediate issues in priority
order.
We don't always fix issues in order of severity. I may
assign less-experienced developers a medium or low issue,
even though outstanding showstopper issues still remain. I
may do this because they have no experience with the sub-
system where the showstopper resides,
Issue severity gives management a good impression of the
current state of the software being developed. It also
serves as a foundation for establishing issue priority.
Issue prioritization gives developers a clear understanding
of the order in which they should work on their defects.

Hi I am preparing for a Software testing interviews and i have attended 4 interviews but i didnt succeeded any of those 4 due to the lack of real time experience can any body please suggest a institute who will train for real time scenarios with good project? in CHENNAI
Scenario A year ago we developed a standards compliant website for a client. Their site is very popular resulting in the client wanting to be able to track how it is being used by their users. The first part of this project is to create a Login function so that users can be identified on the website. The data supplied by users would have to be handled securely. You have been allocated this project to work on. You will be responsible for the task from start to finish and will be expected to give feedback to your manager. User expectations  The client wants their users to be able to login using a page that fits in with the website design.  Tom wants to access the website but doesn’t want his login information to be available to anyone else.  Paul doesn’t want to login to the website because he’s not a frequent user. Task Please provide some feedback on how you would do the following:-  Being the only Test Engineer on this task, what would your approach be for this requirement?  Identify the key areas for testing this page.  What tools if any, would you use to perform the testing, bearing in mind that the testing will be done without using an ‘automated test tool’.  Provide a sample test case that could be used for testing this page, for example as a word or Excel document.
what is meant by estimation and it's use?
I want the correct answer for this question, because i read so many answers from this site which have wrong answers for this question and so during interviews i only gave wrong answers. If anyone really knows the right answers only then answer, Pls give the examples for: High Priority High severity, HP LS, HS LP, LS LP.
