Good guess. > What > exactly is "triage" ? I could not find it in my english dictionary ( is a > little old ) Thanks for the explanation. "The severity of a bug is not the same as its importance for fixing, and the two should be measured and managed separately. On a Microsoft Windows system a blue screen of death is rather severe, but if it only occurs in extreme circumstances, especially if they are well diagnosed and avoidable, it may be less important to fix than an icon not representing its function well, which though purely aesthetic may confuse thousands of users every single day. This balance, of course, depends on many factors; expert users have different expectations from novices, a niche market is different from a general consumer market, and so on. To better achieve this balance, some software developers use a formalized bug triage process (borrowing the medical term), in which each new bug is assigned a priority based on its severity, frequency, risk, and other predetermined factors."
