what is Severity / Prioity ? How do assian ? What are the
basic things followed?

Answer Posted / chandra

Severity deals with the impact of the defect on the
functionality. I.e. how severely the functionality is
affected by the defect.

Priority deals with how fast the defect should be fixed.

Ex:
1. If a Logo of some company is wrong, then the severity may
be low, but the priority is high.

2. If there is a crash in the application in a flow that is
very unlikely to use by the end user, then the severity may
be high, but the priority is low.

hi all I have an overall experience of 12 years working in an EDP setup(worked in a manufacturing setup in a German MNC). On my request, I was relieved from my duties in Sep 06 for maternity reasons. However I would like to pursue a career in a software organization as a manual tester. I obtained my proficiency certificate in Software Testing from STAG SOFTWARE LIMITED 2 months ago i.e in May and would now like to continue working in this field. However I am unable to find a job until now. If anybody knows of a opening at bangalore, kindly let me know.
