wrongly(intead of icici they written hdfc)
here bcoz of wrong name system not getting any effect but
whole business will get effect, customer will be confused

Severity:rates the bug as either it belongs to major,minor
or trivial.
Priority:rates comes under high,medium low.
ex: part severity priority
a major medium
b minor high
c trivial low
always we have to work on bugs based on priority wise only.
because of priority only we can clear other major issues
since one of minor issues may affect the working of other
major parts.and also the client may analyse the issue and
change the requirement.some times even the severity is low
if the priority is high we have to work on that coz it
might be waiting for delivery.
here we need to concentrate on part b in the given ex.
