# Bug Reporting

Severity vs Priority

Severity is impact on the system. Priority is urgency to fix. A spelling error on the homepage may be Low severity but High priority because of brand visibility.

Good Bug Report

Defect Lifecycle

New -> Assigned -> In Progress -> Fixed -> In Testing -> Closed. Reopen the bug if the fix does not resolve it.
