Severity is a fundamental measure of a bug or a failure. Many ranking schemes exist for defining severity. Because there is no set standard for establishing bug severity, the magnitude of the severity of a bug is often open to debate. The table below shows the definition of the severity metrics and the ranking criteria used in this documentation.
