Priority

Introduction

A Priority defines Test asset's importance in relation to other Test assets. QMetry provides default priorities as Blocker, High, Medium and Low for all Test Assets. Default priorities are displayed with SYSTEM DEFAULT priority.

Default priorities can neither be edited nor deleted. Admin can add custom priorities and custom icons to use them in the test assets. Custom Priorities are added at Project Level. These custom priorities can be edited as well as deleted.
