What is a bug triage meeting and its purpose?

• A. A discussion with stakeholders to classify, prioritize, and assign bugs for resolution based on severity and impact.
• B. A casual chat about bugs.
• C. A meeting to publish bugs publicly.
• D. A review of performance metrics.

Answer: (A)

Bug triage is a structured review of defects used to decide how to handle them. Its purpose is to classify, prioritize, and assign bugs for resolution based on severity and impact, with input from stakeholders like QA, development, product, and project management. This process keeps the backlog orderly, ensures the most critical issues are addressed promptly, and assigns clear ownership and timelines. It’s not just a casual chat, nor a meeting to publish bugs publicly, nor a review of performance metrics.
