Priority of defects is decided in consultation with the manager/client while Severity levels of the defects are determined by the QA engineer.

Priority indicates how soon the bug should be fixed whereas Severity indicates the seriousness of the defect on the product functionality.

Priority is associated with scheduling while Severity is associated with functionality or standards.

Priority is categorized into three types : low, medium and high whereas Severity is categorized into five types : critical.

Priority is the order in which the developer should resolve a defect whereas Severity is the degree of impact that a defect has on the operation of the product.

Priority should never be modified directly, as this is set automatically based on a calculation of impact and urgency. Ticket priority is a combination of the impact and urgency that defines the tickets importance relative to other tickets.

Critical: The business area cannot provide a critical service to the public.High: The business area cannot provide a non-critical service to the public, multiple users cannot perform a critical job function.Medium: Single-user cannot complete a job function.Low: No urgency/impact to business services, single-user "how to" or related to a service request.The business urgency of an incident is measured by how quickly the incident needs to be resolved.
