Defect Severity
|
|
===============
|
|
|
|
Definition
|
|
----------
|
|
|
|
We use the ``severity`` field in Bugzilla to indicate the scope of a
|
|
bug's effect on Firefox.
|
|
|
|
The field is display alongside the bug's priority.
|
|
|
|
Values
|
|
------
|
|
|
|
Severity levels and their definitions are enumerated at https://wiki.mozilla.org/BMO/UserGuide/BugFields#bug_severity.
|
|
|
|
By default, new bugs have a severity of ``--``.
|
|
|
|
Examples of S1 bugs
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
- WebExtensions disabled for all users
|
|
- Web search not working from URL bar
|
|
- Crashes with data loss
|
|
|
|
Examples of S2 bugs
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
Bugs that could reasonably be expected to cause a Firefox user to switch browsers,
|
|
either because the severity is bad enough, or the frequency of occurrence is high enough.
|
|
|
|
- `Bug 1640441 <https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1640441>`__ - Slack hangs
|
|
indefinitely in a onResize loop
|
|
- `Bug 1645651 <https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1645651>`__ - Changes in
|
|
Reddit's comment section JS code makes selecting text slow on Nightly
|
|
|
|
Bugs involving contractual partners (if not an S1)
|
|
|
|
Bugs reported from QA
|
|
|
|
- `Bug 1640913 <https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1640913>`__ - because an
|
|
important message is not visible with the dark theme. It's not marked as S1 since the
|
|
issue is reproducible only on one OS and the functionality is not affected.
|
|
- `Bug 1641521 <https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1641521>`__ - because videos
|
|
are not working on several sites with ETP on (default). This is not an S1 since turning
|
|
ETP off fixes the issue.
|
|
|
|
Fuzzblocker bugs, which prevent fuzzing from making progress
|
|
|
|
Examples of S3 bugs
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
Bugs filed by contributors as part of daily refactoring and maintenance of the code base.
|
|
|
|
`Bug 1634171 <https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1634171>`__ - Visual artifacts around circular images
|
|
|
|
Bugs reported from QA
|
|
|
|
- `Bug 1635105 <https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1635105>`__ because
|
|
the associated steps to reproduce are uncommon,
|
|
and the issue is no longer reproducible after refresh.
|
|
- `Bug 1636063 <https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1636063>`__ since it's
|
|
reproducible only on a specific web app, and only with a particular set of configurations.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Rules of thumb
|
|
--------------
|
|
|
|
- The severity of most bugs of type ``task`` and ``enhancement`` will be
|
|
``N/A``
|
|
- **Do not** assign bugs of type ``defect`` the severity ``N/A``
