Case Priorities
Case priorities indicate the importance or severity of a test case. They are defined at the project level and shared across all versions in that project. When creating or editing a test case you can assign it a priority from the Priority dropdown in the Test Case Overview panel.
Default case priorities
QAlity provides a set of default priorities for every project:
| Priority | Description |
|---|---|
| Low | Minor issues with workarounds or low impact |
| Medium | Moderate impact issues that should be addressed |
| High | Significant issues affecting major functionality |
| Critical | Severe issues blocking core functionality or release |
Additional priorities such as Medium high and Medium low may also be available depending on project configuration. All priority names can be renamed and new ones can be added.

- Add a description to each priority so the whole team applies them consistently
- Delete priorities that are no longer used to keep the list clean
