Change the Test Severity Level

From the Tests tab, you can change the severity level of tests. Severity levels prioritize failing tests based on their potential impact. DevOps Testing evaluates the quality gate rules according to these severity levels. When creating a quality gate rule, you can set severity-level threshold criteria. If a test with a severity equal to or higher than the threshold fails, the quality gate rule also fails.
