Dec 7, 2017 at 8:43 comment added user3584259 "If you are talking about TESTING and not PRODUCTION / BUSINESS" does the severity is assigned based on testing or based on business?
Dec 7, 2017 at 8:35 comment added FDM If you are talking about TESTING and not PRODUCTION / BUSINESS then this is a feature that cannot be tested as it's not working. So yes, then the defect could be considered 'blocking' (critical) for testing purposes. Because obviously, if it's a new product yet to be released, you'd want the core processes to work as designed...
Dec 7, 2017 at 8:06 comment added user3584259 ok Iam with you, but dont think that the defect in the above user preven user from continue his testing? for that I say it is critical. So the question now does the severity is related to the impact on tester or on the customer.
Dec 7, 2017 at 5:14 comment added FDM That is hard to judge without more context. I would say, if a user can use another function (provided by the system) to achieve the same thing, it sounds like an easy workaround and thus NOT critical.
Dec 6, 2017 at 22:09 comment added user3584259 So what can I consider the defect in the above scenario, Minor or Critical? please advice
