Jira tracks issues, which can be bugs, feature requests, or any other tasks you want to track.

Each issue has a variety of associated information including:

  • the issue type
  • a summary
  • a description of the issue
  • the project which the issue belongs to
  • components within a project which are associated with this issue
  • versions of the project which are affected by this issue
  • versions of the project which will resolve the issue
  • the environment in which it occurs
  • a priority for being fixed
  • an assigned developer to work on the task
  • a reporter - the user who entered the issue into the system
  • the current status of the issue
  • a full history log of all field changes that have occurred
  • a comment trail added by users
  • if the issue is resolved - the resolution

Priority Levels

An issue has a priority level which indicates its importance. The currently defined priorities are listed below. In addition, you can add more priority levels in the administration section.

Escalated
Blocker
Blocks development and/or testing work, production could not run.
Critical
Critical bugs, or showstoppers as they are often called, are so severe that they prevent you from further testing. These issues manifest themselves in a number of different ways. They can range from an app that continuously crashes to a button missing in the user interface preventing you from loading or triggering a required part of the application. Critical bugs are the highest on the bug severity scale.
Major
As you test an application, you should always have its requirements and/or user stories in mind. If you encounter an issue that prevents the application from meeting requirements or carrying out a feature, it classifies as a major bug on the bug severity scale. In most cases, major bugs are fairly obvious. For instance, if you are testing a game and the application fails to save your score the next time you login, then that is a major bug. Another example would be if the shopping cart function of an e-commerce app does not correctly tally totals and subtotals. In short, major issues prevent applications from doing what they were specified to do.
Medium
Medium level of attention required.
Minor
Minor defects are a little trickier to classify. While they still should not impede an application’s primary features or functionality, minor bugs will have a greater adverse impact than their trivial counterparts. For example, if you are testing an application and trigger a pop-up message that is incorrect – or even in the wrong language – this is a minor defect, so long as it has no effect on the general functionality of the application itself.
Recurring
Recurring
High
High
Low
Low
No Priority
Trivial
Trivial bugs are common and probably the easiest to identify. As a general rule, they have no real impact on the functionality of the application you’re testing. Trivial defects often come in the form of cosmetic or design errors, such as a text block exceeding its boundaries or an image out of alignment. This would be classified as minor on the bug severity scale.
