In this situations Low severity and high priority

Answer / aparna

For example an application which generates some banking
related reports weekly, monthly, quarterly & yearly by
doing some calculations. If there is a error while
calculating yearly report. This is a high severity but low
priority because this error can be fixed in the next
release as a change request.

Answer / surii

Severity : How severe the defect is.

Priority : It is a sequence of defects that tells that what
defect is first resolved and what next.

High severity and low priority : If the test Engg. raise a
defect that is a related to out of scope functionality even
if it is a high severity defect u assign low priority to
that defect.

Low severity and high priority : The defects that are
related to Look and Feel and Spelling mistakes that have low
severity but in customer perception that defect has high
priority.

Correct me if u feel wrong.

Answer / sunder pandiyan ( its)

Severity : Means impact on the application..,
Priority : Means Importance in terms of both application
and client

Example:
Assume that Login page.., Consits of User Name and
Password.., crietria is that the Password as to expire in
every 30 days and new password has to be assigned..,old one
should no longer exist

For High Severity and low Priority
1. Application accpets the New password after very expiry
of 30 days.., Now the Application still accpets the Old
password and the new password for the same account..,
So hence this High severity and Low severity .., since the
deveats the criteria.., ie Old password still works..

For High Priority and low Severity
2. Application behaves such that it doesnt allow to change
every 30 dyas.., it still works with same old password
hnece deviates from the clinest requirements and doesnt
affect the application.., hence it is tersmed as High
Priority and low severity

Answer / shahwali

severity : The impact of the defect raised on the
application/system

priority : The urgency to fix that defect(how fast or by
what time the defect should be fixed)


Example for High Severity & Low Priority

wrong order of the functionalities

say there are 4 functionlities, the order should be

1)User Name
2)Password
3)Company
4)Branch

but in the actual apllication its like

1)User Name
2)Password
3)Branch
4)Company

here the order is wrong but the module is performing the
required task.

Example for Low Severity & High Priority

Imagine a web-site of an organization. The organization
name is spelled wrongly, the severity here is low (i.e.
impact is minimal) but the urgency to fix the defect would
be high as it is the name of the company (i.e priority is
high and it should be fixed ASAP)

Answer / vimal

Severity: How bad a bug is? Means impact on the application
Priority: How soon the bug need to be fixes? Means
Importance in terms of both application and client

Example:
Let us take an example of data entry screen of an
application.

For High Severity and low Priority
1. Application get closed itself after entering 100 records
then again needs the application to restart.

For High Priority and low Severity
2. After entering record the message prompt showing the
message has some spell mistake.

1.Low Severity and High priority:-
Let us discuss with a simple login screen.

Enter username and enter password and press login button,
if it is not accepting it then it would be difficult for
end-users to work with the application.For this scenario the
impact would be very high like lot of end-user may not
complete there task. which is high priority but solving them
is really simple just go to database and check the login
connection and re-set the password which takes only few min
to solve but until solved it is stopping lot of end-user to
complete there task. so priority is high ( to be resolved
immediately but resolving is simple so low severity).

High Severity and low priority:-
suppose we are having an application where we enter
employees record and assingn subjects they teach. Now we
have entered an new employee record and save it and assigned
subjects to it. Now if we want to modify the the subject
assigned to some other and try to save it is showing an
error message unable to save. For this scenario if we enter
the details perfectly we can complete the task and no need
to change and modification takes place rarely so we can go
through the application without any disturbance. but to
solve the problem of modication the developers has to go to
the entire code and might takes place to solve that and
might cause some side effects too. so impact is less but
solving the problem is very high . so this reason it is
called high severity and low priority.

this might help you in clarification.
