We classify [https://issues.hedgewars.org/describecomponents.cgi?product=Hedgewars bugs in Hedgewars] by 1) severity and 2) priority.
|
1546
|
6 |
|
|
7 |
Severity tells us how much a bug “breaks Hedgewars”.
|
|
8 |
|
1548
|
9 |
Priority is optional, less important and a rough estimate how “important” a bug is within a severity class.
|

|
|
11 |
== Severity ==
|
|
12 |
Severity tells us how much “damage” this bug deals to Hedgewars. The higher the severity of a bug, the more it “breaks” Hedgewars. High-serverity bugs are usually also more important and those should usually get more attention as well.

|
77 |
|
|
78 |
== Priority ==
|
|
79 |
Priority of bugs is a rough estimate of how common or important the bug is estimated to be within the assigned severity class. Priority is a less important classification than severity and just a rough guideline. Generally the more likely it is to experience the bug, the higher its priority. Priority is optional does not need to be specified, it can always be added later.
|
|
80 |
|
|
81 |
For enhancements, the priority marks the “desirability” of the feature request. High-priority feature requests should generally be implemented before the lower priority ones.
