Have there been emergencies where you had to choose what to test? How did you prioritize?

In emergency situations with limited testing time, I usually apply risk-based and importance-based prioritization. I primarily test critical functions for business and users that could lead to serious failures or losses.

For this, I evaluate:

• Frequency of feature usage
• Potential damage from errors
• Bug history in similar modules

For example, if the release involves payment, testing payment scenarios will be a priority, while less significant functions are postponed or checked selectively. I also use automated tests for quick coverage of main scenarios to save time.
