What is the difference between a critical and a major bug in software testing?
I want to clarify my definition of a critical and a major bug in software testing According to my understanding a critical bug is one which does not have a work around solution and a major bug is one which does. (Please correct me if i am wrong) But HOW does a tester determine whether or not a bug will have a work around solution or not??

Re: What is the difference between a critical and a major bug in software testing?
A critical defect is show stopper which means the functionality cannot be delivered unless that defect is cleared. And a major defect is a major flaw in functionality but it still can be released.
Both critical and major defect are highlighted by software testers to developers.
Later developers decide that he bug will have a work around solution or not.
