Sevirity & priority levels in bugzilla..

Answer / jacob

Hai Guys I am Jacob a Test Engineer who also happens to be
the admin of Bugzilla in my company

Severity and Priority are tow important points in weighing a bug

Bugzilla has many default parameters for both.. Basically in
most of the companies we use those only so I ll stick to that

Severity

This field describes the impact of a bug.

Blocker Blocks development and/or testing work

Critical crashes, loss of data, severe memory leak
Major major loss of function

Normal regular issue, some loss of functionality under
specific circumstances

Minor minor loss of function, or other problem where easy
workaround is present

Trivial cosmetic problem like misspelled words or
misaligned text

Enhancement Request for enhancement


Priority

Priority
This field describes the importance and order in which a bug
should be fixed. This field is utilized by the
programmers/engineers to prioritize their work to be done.
The available priorities range from

P1 (most important) to P5 (least important).

Feel free to punch back with any clarifications
