UI Triangulation
See main page Usability Triangulation
UI Triangulation ensures that different tracking mechanisms (bug tracker tickets, Get Satisfaction tickets, and results from usability testing) are cross referenced and prioritized like programming bugs. It uses UI Severity and frequency ratings to prioritize bugs similar similar to programming bugs.
Severity + Frequency + human factoring = Priority
