Give an example of low serverity and low priority bug?

Answer Posted / sonia

Severity refers to the effect the bug has on the
functionality of the application. The more the
functionality is effected the higher will be the severity.
For example a crash will always have the highest severity
and a spelling mistake will have a low severity.

Priority refers to how soon the bug should be fixed. One
more point to note is that Severity is entered by the QA
and the Priority to fix it is decided by the PM in
consultation with the client relationship manager. By and
large a high severity bug would also have high priority.
BUT there are also exceptions to the rule depending on the
application and release schedule. A wrong logo used on the
home page of a company's web site is definitely HIGH
priority whereas since its not affecting the functionality
its Severity will be LOW. Conversely a crash during a
roundabout scenario which is not likely to be encountered
by the client will have HIGH severity since it has a major
affect on the functionality whereas the PM may set the
Priority as LOW since he might have more important bugs to
fix which have higher visibility to the client.
