If you want your application to run without any abnormal terminations, which bug type would be ranked most important to fix?

Performance
Incorrectly functioning with a workaround
Crash
Cosmetic

The correct answer is: Crash

To ensure that an application runs smoothly without any abnormal terminations, addressing crash bugs is the most critical priority. Crash bugs lead to the abrupt stopping of the application, which interrupts user experience and functionality. When an application crashes, it can result in loss of data, user frustration, and a lack of trust in the software. Therefore, fixing these issues is essential to maintain application stability and reliability. While performance issues may affect how quickly the application responds, and incorrectly functioning features might hinder usability, neither has the immediate negative impact of a crash. Cosmetic bugs, which refer to minor visual issues that do not affect application functionality, are the least critical and can be addressed later since they do not impact the core performance and reliability of the application.
