How did you define severity ratings in your project?

Question

Accepted Answer

Severity ratings were defined based on the impact of the defect on the system and its users.

Severity ratings were determined by considering the potential impact of the defect on the system's functionality, performance, and usability.
Factors such as the frequency of occurrence, ease of replication, and the extent of the defect's impact were taken into account.
Examples of severity ratings could include 'Critical' for defects that cause system crashes or data loss, 'High' for defects that significantly impact functionality, 'Medium' for defects that have moderate impact, and 'Low' for defects with minimal impact.
Severity ratings were assigned during the defect triage process, involving collaboration with stakeholders and subject matter experts.
