Overview

The Standard Experience encompasses the use of rule types such as bugs, code smells, and vulnerabilities, with a single type and severity level for each rule. This approach focuses on assigning severity to a rule based on the single software quality (e.g. security, reliability, or maintainability) it has the largest impact on.

How severity works in Standard Experience mode

Blocker	An issue that has a significant probability of severe unintended consequences on the application that should be fixed immediately. This includes bugs leading to production crashes and security flaws allowing attackers to extract sensitive data or execute malicious code.
Critical	An issue with a critical impact on the application that should be fixed as soon as possible.
Major	An issue with a major impact on the application.
Minor	An issue with a minor impact on the application.
