Frequently Asked Questions

Difference between Severity and Priority?

Severity is technical: 'How broken is it?' (e.g., System Crash = Critical). Priority is business: 'When should we fix it?' (e.g., Crash on unused page = Low Priority). Bug Triage Priority Score combines both into a Priority score.

What is 'Triage'?

Derived from French medical terms, it's the process of sorting bugs to ensure resources are spent on the most important issues first.
