Tar Prioritization

Tar Prioritization

Bugs that are found while testing need to be assigned a priority. Priority defines the estimated time that the developers will take to fix the issue. Priority also decides if the functionality is ready for the CRP and if we need it to be fixed before CRP or after the CRP.

This document is divided in two parts:

a) Ready for deploy on TQA
b) Functionality ready for CRP.



Ready for Deploy on TQA

The code for ESOL is ready to deploy on TQA if

A) There are no P1’s existing in ESOL.

B) Maximum of 1 p2.

C) Maximum of 5 p3’s.


Functionality is ready for CRP

A) There are no P1’s existing in TQA.
B) There are no P2’s existing in TQA.
C) The P3’s can be decided depending on the comfort level of the business user.

Broadly classifying P1, P2 and P3 bugs in B2C:

Priority’s are classified based upon how far can the user proceed with the functionality he is testing.






P1 - Showstopper:

Any defect that stops you from executing some key functionalities of the application. e.g.:

1. The user is not getting registered and is unable to proceed to checkout.
2. Unable to place an order through any of the payment options.
3. Unable to Add products to the Shopping Cart
4. Unable to Submit Order.
5. Unable to Confirm Order.
6. Unable to use any of the payment options.
7. Unable to create any product/Component in Accelerator.
8. Unable to Create and edit PBOM/LBOM.



P2 - Critical:

Any defect that does not stop you from executing the functionality as there is a workaround available but is business critical e.g.:

Unable to create PBOM/LBOM in accelerator but able to edit existing PBOM/LBOM therefore can check the functionality (Working or Not working).
Able to place orders for some products but not for others

For Example
Able to place an order for a Camera but unable to place a order for CTO.
Any new functionality that is developed for the CRP and some of
Its related functionality’s not working as per the requirements.

4. Feed files required for loading new data on the TQA environment for testing purpose.

P3 - Minor:

Format/ Grammatical Errors in the website.
UI errors, misplaced images etc.
