How was the priority of defects determined?

Defect prioritization is usually determined based on several factors:

• Impact on business: how much the defect hampers user operations or critical functions.
• Frequency of occurrence: how often the defect reproduces.
• Workaround complexity: whether temporary solutions or workarounds exist.
• Impact on system security and stability.

A classification by levels is often used, for example:

• Critical (Blocker): defects that completely block operation or lead to data loss.
• High (Major): significant issues that hinder the use of key functions.
• Medium (Normal): defects that reduce convenience but are not critical.
• Low (Minor): cosmetic or minor errors.

Prioritization can be adjusted considering business tasks and release deadlines.
