Verification · Finding validation · Severity scoring
Impact category
Data loss, security, crash, wrong behaviour, performance, leak or maintainability.
How to build it
- Pick one impact category from a fixed list for each finding.
- Use the list: data loss, security, crash, wrong behaviour, performance, leak or maintainability.
- Reject findings that name no impact category.
Signals in a repository
- A severity rubric in review guidelines with an impact category list.
- Finding templates with a required impact field.
- Review comments that label a finding as a data loss or security issue.
In practice
No scanned repository runs a tool for this check. The steps above are the only guidance.
