Quality assurance teams should consider both the frequency and the impact of failures. A minor interface delay and a lost transaction are not equivalent, even if each is counted as one defect. Relevant signals can include failure rate, mean time between failures, recovery time, error frequency, and the percentage of completed test runs. These measures become more useful when paired with logs, traces, and reproducible steps. Reviewers should also distinguish observed failures from warnings and environmental interruptions, then document uncertainty. That disciplined approach helps teams prioritize genuine product risks rather than treating every test anomaly as equally important.
