Severity Levels : Types of Severity of Bug/Defect may be divided into four categories in software testing

  • S1 : This flaw implies that the process has been completely shut off, and no further action can be taken.

  • S2 : Major − This is a significant flaw that causes the system to fail. Certain elements of the system, however, are still operational.

  • S3 : Medium − It results in some unfavorable behavior, but the system remains functioning.

  • S4 : Low − It won't create any serious system failures.
