Severity: Severity determines the defect's effect on the
application. Severity is given by Testers
Priority: Determines the defect urgency of repair.Priority
is given by Test lead or project manager
1. High Severity & Low Priority : For example an
application which generates some banking related reports
weekly, monthly, quarterly & yearly by doing some
calculations. If there is a fault while calculating yearly
report. This is a high severity fault but low priority
because this fault can be fixed in the next release as a
change request.
2. High Severity & High Priority : In the above example if
there is a fault while calculating weekly report. This is a
high severity and high priority fault because this fault
will block the functionality of the application immediately
within a week. It should be fixed urgently.
3. Low Severity & High Priority : If there is a spelling
mistake or content issue on the homepage of a website which
has daily hits of lakhs. In this case, though this fault is
not affecting the website or other functionalities but
considering the status and popularity of the website in the
competitive market it is a high priority fault.
4. Low Severity & Low Priority : If there is a spelling
mistake on the pages which has very less hits throughout
the month on any website. This fault can be considered as
low severity and low priority.
Priority is used to organize the work. The field only takes
meaning when owner of the bug
P1 Fix in next build
P2 Fix as soon as possible
P3 Fix before next release
P4 Fix it time allow
P5 Unlikely to be fixed
Default priority for new defects is set at P3
