Hi Rishi,

High Severity and Low Priority bugs could be something like this,

1) Disturbed UI of the page
2) Web page not the root to the Home page
3) Incorrect message displayed
4) Build not updated with latest code which is suppose to.

Thanks,
Siddiq

High Severity And Low Priorityy :- If there is an application if that application crashes after multiple use of any functionality (Eg. :- save Button use 200 times then that application will crash)

Means High Severity because application crashed but Low Priority because no need to debug right now you can debug it after some days.

Hi Hitesh,

Simple example for high severity and low priority bug.

Let us consider in Yahoo login page, you are able to see username, password and sign in button.
Let us say Sign in button is not in proper manner or the text of sign in is not able to understand to the user such a way that he doesn't know what is the use of that button.

Even though it is a simple text change or button is not proper place, the bug severity will be high and priority will be low. Because if the user selects the button, functionality will work.

Why it is high severity is , in the first look it self user will get bad impression. But the functionality is working properly as the requirements.

Regards,
Babu.

Babu,

I am not convinced with the example.

When Sign in button is not in proper manner, incorrect text how come it's HIGH Severity defect??? It's high priority defect.

What is high severity according to you?

HIGH SEVERITY with LOW PRIORITY bug desciption
Go thru the following description,

If u need to display INSURANCE calculations lets say Employee Insurance Info Report
In that REPORT u have to display all employees insurance calculations based on their benfits assigned for the financial year 2010. And management told you that u should display all correct calculation in the report before next month .

now you got bug in REPORTS that shows wrong calculations and display insurance based on year 2009 i.e. last year.(Expected : It should display calculations based on 2010 employee benefits)

NOW, in this case u can describe this bug as a Hight serverity bug because this would affect on insurance calculations at the time of delevery and Financial Audit .

but now,
You give LOW PRORITY to resolve this issue (depends on your work status also :) )
because this bug occurs in REPORTS only not in your applications pages from where you provides inputs for new calculations and all these pages shows correct insurance calculations.
so bug is in only reports and as per managemnet told you to show correct reports before the next months.
i.e. you have more than one month in hand to resolve the issuee.
( and prior to resolve this you have to schedule time for resolve high priorty issues also )

So in this case you can give Low Prioriy for this high severity bug :)

so in this scenario there is chances to give HIGH SEVERITY with LOW PRIORITY bug desciption

Hopes your doubt is clear now !!!!!
