Severity is defined as the impact of defect on the application and Priority of defect is categorized into 4 different phases:
Critical / Show Stopper — This type of defect prevents further testing of the product or function under test, and is classified as Critical Bug. Examples of this include a missing menu option or VB script errors or security permission required to access a function under test or Broken Links etc. Work cannot be continued on the application.
Major / High — A defect that does not function as projected for or causes other functionality (ies) to fail to meet requirements is categorized as Major Bug. Examples of this include inaccurate calculations; the wrong field being updated frames of the application giving error or Links navigate to wrong pages etc. Work (work around) can be continued with the occurrence of this defect.
Average / Medium — These defects do not conform to standards and conventions are categorized as Medium Bugs. Examples include matching visual, fonts and text links which lead to different end points. Workaround can be continued to achieve functionality objectives.
Minor / Low — These defects are also called as Cosmetic defects. These defects do not affect the functionality of the system and are classified as Minor Bugs. Continuous testing of an application can be done and these defects are fixed at the end of build. Examples: Spelling errors in descriptions of text boxes, etc.
