    - Priority indicates the importance of fixing a defect.

    - It may be initially set by the software tester and usually finalized by the project manager.

    - The assigned priority value can be changed. Priority can be categorized into the following levels:

      - Urgent : It must be fixed in the next build.
      - High : It must be fixed in any of the upcoming builds, but should be included in the release.
      - Medium : It may be fixed after the release or in the next release.
      - Low : It may or may not be fixed at all.

    - It defines the order in which we should resolve a defect.

    - Priority needs to be managed carefully in order to avoid product instability, especially when there is a large number of defects.

    - The priority status is based on the user requirements.
