Answer / mohammed arshad

With refrence to answer #9

I agree that a high severity bug will not have low priority
and low severity bug have high priority, but there could be
a scenario:
For Example:
Supose ther are 3 modules in an application say A, B and C.
And the client wants module A to be delivered or would like
to see first.
So now the hight priority becomes module A compared to B
and C modules.
Even though there could be high severity bug in B or C, we
first should fix the hight priority module(i.e. module A)
and later we can fix the other bugs.
This is what i think is correct. Please correct me if i am
wrong.

Answer / viji

We alway give more importance for priority and then
severity

which is affected very sevior with High priority or low
priority that particular bug has to be fix as early as
possible then only we can able to go for further testing


When you need to consider severity there is no priority
they have given only severity like FAT, MAJ & MIN

here you have to consider severity.

so you have to give more importance for BUG A

Answer / nagendra

Ans is B.
Y B? y not A?
Bcoz, Severity is decided by the Tester. By taking the
Severity as the input for the Priority, priority will be
decided to Fix the Bug by the Developer. So, Bug B will be
fixed first and then Bug A.

Answer / mudaseer

here for example our android application is crashing when the battery is lower than 15 % so this is high priority and low severity because end user will not use the application when the battery is low so if we don't fix it it is not an issue

but high priority bug should be fixed
