h1. JIRA priorities

This is an attempt to make the selection of the 'right' priority of a JIRA issue more transparent.

''This is work in progress''

The authoritative resource is https://bugreports.qt.io/secure/ShowConstantsHelp.jspa?#PriorityLevels - this page should be understood only as a tool.

== Bugs ==

Start with priority 3. Then raise, or lower the priority based on the bug's severity, visibility, whether it's a regression, or whether there's a workaround.

{|
|Default Priority
|3
|
|-
|Severity
|–1
|Does the bug make the application unusable (crashes/hangups …)?
|-
|Regressions
|–1
|Does the bug break code that worked in (recent) previous versions?
|-
|Visibility
|+1/0/-1
|How many people using the feature are affected? Just a few (+1), some (0), quite many (–1)
|-
|Workaround
|+1
|Is there an (easy) workaround?
|}

Other factors that might alter the priority: Compilation issues, legal issues, potential for data losses …
