Who and how can define severity and priority? Priority Fixing can be deferred as a logical part of more important work. May be fixed according to the position in the backlog. A defect with this priority could have functionality issues which are not to expectations. Once P0 defects have been fixed, a defect having this priority is the next candidate for fixing. Needs to be fixed before any other issues. This generally occurs in cases when the entire functionality is blocked. The defect needs to be fixed right now, everything else can wait.

Affects aesthetics, professional look and feel, “quality” or “usability”. Impact that does not prevent or hinder functionality. A minor problem, annoyance, or technical issue with minimal impact. The fix is in an area that is not critical.

Problem has moderate impact requiring some restrictions. Affects non-critical data or functionality and does not force users to employ a workaround. Major restrictions or short-term circumventions are required until a fix is available. Impact to the product qualities that makes the product more usable. Affects non-critical data or functionality and forces users to employ a workaround. Affects critical data or functionality and forces users to employ a workaround. A problem that is blocking the ability to work. Affects critical data or functionality and leaves users with no workaround. Priority and severity descriptions Severity Severity is a measure of how ‘bad’ the bug is and how much disruption it causes, without regard to remaining work or the release schedule. It is a reflection on how bad the bug is for the system and also for business or marketing requirements. Priority also helps to determine the scheduling of the fix: Higher priority bugs will be fixed and merged first. The defect priority status is set by Product Managers. Priority signifies how important or detrimental a defect is. Magento and Community Maintainers process contributions based on the issue/pull requests priority starting from P0, P1 to P4. If you would like to contribute improvements or bug fixes to Magento, and make sure it is valuable for the Community and Magento as well, we highly recommend that Community Contributors to take issues from the backlog based on Priority. Having clear contribution rules in place helps to build clear expectations for Community Contributors and establish clear priorities for Community Maintainers and the Magento team. This approach makes open-source collaboration more transparent for all participants. In order to provide timely resolution on the most critical issues and pull requests, the Magento team has implemented Severity/Priority concepts to our community driven projects. All contributors are required to submit a click-through form to agree to the terms.

Refer to the Adobe Contributor Agreement for detailed information about the License Agreement. When the Community Engineering Team works on reviewing the suggested changes, we will add a label to the issue to indicate certain information, like the status or who is working the issue. If there is no response from the contributor in two weeks (14 days) time, the issue might be closed. During the review we might require clarifications from the contributor. The Community Engineering Team reviews all issues and contributions submitted by the community developers. The forked repository is then used to submit a pull request to the base repository to merge a set of changes from the fork into the main repository.Ĭontributions can take the form of new components or features, changes to existing features, tests, documentation (such as developer guides, user guides, examples, or specifications), bug fixes, optimizations, or just good suggestions. This method allows contributors to maintain their own copy of the forked codebase, which can be easily synced with the main copy. We use the fork and pull model to contribute to the Magento 2 codebase.
