Notes
1. A Defect which, if not removed at a given time, can be removed later (for example, in test phases or in customer use) at approximately the same Cost or penalty.
2. There is little value in dealing with it immediately After it occurs. It can be left to chance, or ignored until it surfaces of its own accord.
3. Minor does not refer to the size of the Defect, but to the potential consequences of it downstream.
