What is Test Prioritization and How we apply to our Test Case?

Question

Accepted Answer

Test prioritization is the process of determining the order in which tests should be executed based on their importance and risk.

Tests are prioritized based on their impact on the system and the likelihood of failure.
Prioritization helps to ensure that critical defects are identified and fixed early in the testing process.
Factors such as business requirements, user expectations, and regulatory compliance are considered when prioritizing tests.
Test cases with high priority are executed first, followed by medium and low priority cases.
Test prioritization can be applied to both manual and automated testing.
Example: A critical bug that causes the system to crash should be given the highest priority.
Example: Tests related to payment processing should be given higher priority than tests related to cosmetic features.
