Blocker/Critical (Highest) - mission critical to the core functionality of the application and for which there are no workarounds.
Major (High) - related to the core functionality of the application, but don’t have to be fixed before product launch. However, these bugs should be fixed in the first available patch or release after launch.
Medium - does not affect any critical user functionality. Typically, these bugs have workarounds that allow users to accomplish the desired task that the bug may have hindered or the function may still operate but in a degraded fashion.
Low - these bugs do not interfere with core functionality and are just annoyances that may or may not ever be fixed.
