Ποια είναι η διαφορά μεταξύ προτεραιότητας και σοβαρότητας ενός σφάλματος;

• Priority determines how quickly a defect needs to be fixed. It is set by the product manager or business analyst and depends on the impact on the business.
• Severity determines the extent of impact of the defect on the functionality or performance of the system. It is set by the QA engineer and depends on the technical aspect.
