How do you determine the impact level of a found error on the system's operation?

Answer from AI

The degree of impact of an error on the system's operation is determined by several criteria:

  • Impact on functionality: The error blocks key functions or only slightly affects operation.
  • Scope of spread: The error affects the entire system, a specific module, or only a local component.
  • Impact on users: The error causes data loss, operational failures, deterioration of user experience, or is unnoticed by the user.
  • Time and frequency of occurrence: The error is constant or occurs rarely.

For example, if an error causes the entire service to crash, it is a critical error with high priority. If a bug affects the display of a button's color in a rare scenario, it is a low priority with minimal impact.
