How do you prioritize defects?

 Defects are prioritized based on their severity (impact on functionality) and priority (urgency of fix):

  • High Severity, High Priority: Users cannot log in (critical).
  • High Severity, Low Priority: A major crash occurs but only in rare scenarios.
  • Low Severity, High Priority: A minor UI issue affecting a key user journey.
  • Low Severity, Low Priority: Minor visual inconsistencies.

This prioritization ensures critical defects are resolved before minor ones.

Facebook sends the verified data back to Amazon, allowing the registration process to proceed seamlessly. Popular API testing tools include Postman and SoapUI , which are used for validating API requests and responses.

Stable functionalities where application behaviour is not frequently changing.
