Priority means Importance of the defect with respect to customer requirement.
Severity means Seriousness of the defect with respect to functionality
Severity:
1. This is assigned by the Test Engineer
2. This is to say how badly the deviation that is occurring is affecting the other modules of the build or release.
Priority:
1. This is assigned by the Developer.
2. This is to say how soon the bug as to be fixed in the main code, so that it pass the basic requirement.
The code is to generate some values with some valid input conditions. The priority will be assigned so based on the following conditions:
It is not accepting any value
It is accepting value but output is in non-defined format (say Unicode Characters).
Thanks
