HotFix: Bug found at customer site and it needs an
immediate fix. This fix will be specific to that customer.
Showstopper: A bug encountered and it blocks the
functonality of module(s) or entire application. And it has
no workaround. It needs to be fixed to proceed further.
Critical (Also called 'High'): A high severity bug found
and has some workaround to proceed further. Having high
impact on the cutomer point of view (high priority)
