### Bug Priority labels (~P1, ~P2, ~P3 & etc.) ### Bug Priority labels (~P1, ~P2, ~P3, ~P4)
Bug Priority labels help us define the time a ~bug fix should be completed. Priority determines how quickly the defect turnaround time must be. If there are multiple defects, the priority decides which defect has to be fixed immediately versus later. Bug Priority labels help us define the time a ~bug fix should be completed.
