Answer from AI

  • Urgency of resolution: Blocking defects or critical vulnerabilities require immediate fixing.
  • Impact on business: How much the defect hampers core product functions or directly affects the company's revenue/reputation.
  • Frequency of feature use: An issue in a frequently used feature is more important than in a rarely used one.
  • Number of affected users: Defects affecting the majority of users have a higher priority.
  • Reproducibility difficulty: Easily reproducible defects usually have a higher priority.
  • Dependencies: How much the defect affects other parts of the system.
  • Company/client policy: Some defects may be critical according to established rules, even if they have a lower priority based on other criteria.
  • Development stage: Early stages may be more tolerant of non-critical defects.
  • Availability of a workaround: If there is a simple way to bypass the problem, the priority may be lower.
  • Regulatory requirements (for specific industries): Compliance with regulatory acts can determine priority.
