How to set priority of the bug?

How to prioritize bug?

Correct priority & severity of the bug it’s very important. I have seen that there is lot of discussion, argument take place between developer and tester for bug priority and severity. The Priority which is set by tester that sometime developer not agree with it. Vice versa same thing with tester too. This is not only about between developer and tester. The same thing is happen in between higher level also between business analysis, project manager etc.

But As tester I wanted to tell you that setting the priority of bug ,which not get accepted by developer or someone else which really feel bad but for that we need to set correct priority & severity of bug so, here the question arise how we will set that?

For that need to consider following point:
1. Understand the functionality, feature.
2. Understand the business flow.
3. Communicate with the customer..
4. Understand Risk of the bug
5. Impact of the bug.

Considering these point set appropriate priority and severity of bug.
