confusing it tin teach for someone new to the S/W testing field. But earlier I tin attempt to offering whatever sort of solution to give the axe this confusion, kindly permit me to acquaint yous amongst a pocket-size story!
One afternoon at a theater:
One fine Sat morning time when Ashley (the woman soul protagonist of my story) is yet enjoying the warmth of her bed, much to her annoyance, the jail cellphone telephone rings breaking the quiet of the room; equally if yelling to brand her realize that its 8AM already as well as the basis out side her hostel room is upwards as well as on its feet. Lazily she reaches out for her jail cellphone telephone as well as equally she looks at the enshroud a grin flashes across her face, fifty-fifty without her knowledge. It’s her BF on the phone. He asks if she tin bunk her weekend MBA class as well as scout the noon demo of the latest blockbuster inwards the home nigh to her hostel! Ashley thinks for a 2nd as well as nods inwards affirmative amongst the typical unforgettable blushing grin flashing across her face. :) Everything seems to come about equally per the conception [telling lies to her roomies, bunking the of import class, reaching the multiplex inwards time; something that does non come about quite often :)...] until, to her horror as well as surprise she finds out inwards the home that the soul sitting behind her is none other than her ain cousin who also stays inwards the city! Oops…
Moral of the story:
How would yous depict the province of affairs (in damage of severity)? Critical, Major, Normal, Minor... Well, assuming that Ashley’s cousin is unaware of the honey storey I would imagine that she would likely consider this equally a Critical situation. Won’t she? Now considering that nosotros convey a critical province of affairs (bug/defect) at hand... How fast she would desire to ready this upwards (either yesteryear taking her cousin on a Lunch as well as begging her non to enjoin nigh it to anybody or yesteryear exactly trying to teach fifty-fifty amongst her as well as threaten her maxim that if she opens her oral cavity nigh it she would doom her yesteryear telling nigh the cousin's ain undercover honey storey to others) describes the priority! The to a greater extent than desperate Ashley is to ready this province of affairs up, the higher the priority! Isn't it? :)
Bug Severity:
use an expired ATM card as well as attempt it for xiii consecutive times (even afterwards the machine keeps rejecting it)! Sounds similar a critical crash? Well, it mightiness endure a critical põrnikas equally far equally its severity is concerned, but don’t endure equally good surprised if yous encounter a depression Priority beingness assigned to it. Reason? I intend its obvious!
High Severity as well as High Priority Bug: These kinds of bugs are easier to imagine. Any sort of põrnikas that results inwards to a greater extent than or less major catastrophic failure (crashes, arrangement hang, retentiveness corruptions, information loss, functionalities that does non piece of occupation as well as then on) as well as that occurs inwards areas of the application that are oftentimes used tin endure classified nether such types of high severity as well as high priority bugs. Think of scenarios where the ATM machine - does non expose a valid bill of fare fifty-fifty afterwards entering right PIN number, hangs if tried amongst an invalid bill of fare and/or PIN number, blocks the bill of fare afterwards exactly 1 unsuccessful entry of PIN (instead of iii wrong entries), does non dispense coin fifty-fifty if at that spot is sufficient cash inwards the a/c as well as inwards the ATM machine, dispenses wrong amount to the user, does non forget the previous session fifty-fifty afterwards the transaction is consummate (in instance of ATM machines where yous convey to swipe your bill of fare instead of inserting it), does non provide the bill of fare fifty-fifty afterwards the transaction is consummate as well as then on. As yous tin imagine all of these cases of bugs tin autumn nether high severity as well as high priority type.
Low Severity as well as Low Priority Bug: These are often depression impact depression on urgency-meter bugs that are quite harmless as well as tin endure fixed without a hurry. These sort of bugs produce non impairment the application inwards a disastrous agency as well as the endangerment of an cease user/customer beingness annoyed yesteryear it is also rattling less. Think of a scenario where the ATM machine does non append a championship (Mr/Miss/Mrs) to the cite of the client inwards the welcome screen. This would non touching the delineate of piece of occupation concern inwards a drastic way. And at that spot mightiness non endure many customers who would heed it if their cite is displayed without a title.
Hope I was able to brand the distinction (Bug Severity Vs. Bug Priority) clear through the examples. Now hither is a pocket-size testing practice for you. Why don’t yous attempt as well as acquaint few to a greater extent than examples (at to the lowest degree i from each combination viz. high severity as well as depression priority bugs, depression severity as well as high priority bugs as well as then on) taking the ATM machine equally example?
Happy Testing…
