Answer Posted / ramesh yampalla

PRIORITY:The importance of the defect with respect customer requirement.It is related to developer.

SEVERITY:The importance of the defect with respect functionality of application.it is related to tester.

These are 4 types

1.High Priority and High Severity
2.High Priority and Low Severity
3.Low Priority and High Severity
4.Low Priority and Low severity

1.The example of High Priority and High Severity.

if ur application related to electrical bill,and
ur paying electrical bill monthly.Then it has to fix immediately.I mean should not delay it.Then at that we will consider it as a high priority and high severity.

2.The example of High Priority and Low Severity
If ur going to start one company,at that time ur company logo will miss.Then we will consider that issue as a high priority and low severity.Because in this competitive market if u miss logo page then it will be very difficult.

3.The example of Low Priority and High severity

If ur paying electrical bill yearly wise .Then we will consider that issue as a low priority and high severity.

4.The example of Low Priority and Low severity

If u have registered one page,at that time if it shows instead of "u have registered successfully"......."u have registered success".Then we will considered it as a low priority and low severity.
