Severity Enumeration

This enumeration defines the level of severity that an issue can have.

Syntax

public enum Severity : System.Enum

Members

Member	Description
Blocker	An issue with a severity level Blocker cannot move to production, it must be fixed.
Critical	An issue with a severity level Critical shouldn't move to production. It still can for business imperative needs purposes, but at worth it must be fixed during the next iterations.
High	An issue with a severity level High should be fixed quickly, but can wait until the next scheduled interval.
Info	Use Severity.Low instead
Low	The severity level Low is used by issues that have a zero, or close to zero, value for AnnualInterest.
Major	Use Severity.High instead
Medium	An issue with a severity level Medium is a warning that if not fixed, won't have a significant impact on development.
Minor	Use Severity.Medium instead

Remarks

The severity of an issue depends on the AnnualInterest the issue, expressed in man-time per year, and is obtained from the severity thresholds defined in DebtSettings.
