What do you mean by Defect Severity and Defect Priority?

Answer»

Defect Severity: This is the degree or extent to which a defect impacts the application being TESTED. The severity of the defect is a measure of its impact on the software's functionality. A defect with a higher severity level will have a greater impact on the application. Defect severity is classified into four categories: 

  • Critical
  • Major
  • Medium
  • Low

Defect PRIORITY: It is a parameter determining the order in which defects MUST be fixed. A high priority defect will more likely RESULT in an unusable or stuck application, and it should be corrected as soon as POSSIBLE. Defect priority is classified into three categories: 

  • High
  • Medium
  • Low
