Is it possible to have a defect with high severity and low
priority and vice-versa i.e high priority and low severity?
Justify,if possible? give a example?


Answer Posted / rainishant

Suppose a web site is developed for a client. The client
does not like the font color of a particular page. He can
report a bug with priority P0 (heighest) but since this is
not affecting the functionality of the site so its severity
is low (trivial) so high priority and low severity.

Suppose there are 2 links on a page 1. contact us, Shopping
cart.
Suppose this is a shopping portal.
Shopping cart link goes to a page which says Thaks for
shopping. and contact us link opens a blank page. Here both
the link are showing wrong pages so the severity is same
but fixing the link Shopping cart is high ( as the site is
meant for that) and for link contact us can be low.

Is This Answer Correct ?    2 Yes 3 No
