Important things to consider while prioritizing any debugging tasks we take into account the severity of the tasks. Below is some hierarchy that I would consider while picking these tasks.
1. The most priority needs to go to tasks blocking the working of one or multiple modules/features (i.e. auth)
2. Then comes the tasks that are not blocking anything but are from core features. (i.e. keeping a user signed in)
3. Tasks that need small time in fixation but large in numbers (i.e. updating some text, colors, some translations)
4. Crucial but less happening tasks
5. All rest of the tasks

When faced with a tight deadline, focus on debugging tasks that:
1. Stop further progress and address issues preventing development or testing.
2. Impact critical features and prioritize bugs affecting core functionality.
3. Resolve issues likely to be noticed or reported by users.
4. Introduce and address bugs that pose a security risk.
By prioritizing tasks in this order, you can maximize your chances of meeting the deadline and delivering a high-quality product.

To prioritize debugging tasks under a tight deadline, start by focusing on high-severity bugs that critically affect core functionality. Aim to resolve quick fixes for immediate benefits and address any blockers that hinder your team's progress. Consider stakeholder feedback to enhance user satisfaction, and collaborate with your team to gather their insights. This approach ensures efficient use of time and resources!

When the deadlineâs looming, hereâs how I decide which bugs to squash first:
1. Prioritize bugs that block core functionality. If it crashes the app, itâs top priority.
2. Fix bugs that impact user experience. No one wants a flashy feature if basic stuff is broken.
3. Knock out low-hanging fruit that are easy fixes. It clears the board and boosts momentum.
4. For now, skip the rare or unlikely bugs. Tackle those once the essentials are solid.
5. Let stakeholders know whatâs being prioritized. Theyâll appreciate the transparency and calm in the storm.

When the pressure is mounting, debugging can feel like navigating a maze. My go-to strategy? I start by isolating the issueâtreating each potential problem as a puzzle piece. Once I have a clearer picture, I prioritize testing the most likely culprits first, rather than chasing every possible lead. Collaboration is key here, too. A fresh set of eyes can spot something youâve overlooked in the heat of the moment. Finally, I remind myself to step away occasionally; solutions often reveal themselves when you're not staring directly at the screen. Debugging is just as much about mindset as it is about method!
