What is the difference between bug severity and bug priority?

Bug severity refers to the impact a defect has on the system’s functionality, while bug priority determines the urgency of fixing it. Severity is based on technical aspects, such as system crashes or data loss, while priority is set based on business needs, considering deadlines and user impact. A high-severity bug (e.g., system crash) may have a low priority if it rarely occurs, while a low-severity UI glitch may have high priority if it affects key users.

What is bug severity?

Bug severity refers to the extent to which a defect affects the functionality, performance, or usability of a software application. It indicates the seriousness of the issue from a technical perspective, ranging from critical (system crashes or data loss) to low (minor UI misalignment). Severity is typically categorized as Critical, High, Medium, or Low and helps determine the impact of the bug on the system’s operation.
