Two main things need to be considered while proritising the test cases:
1. Important issues regarded in the sight of Business users.
eg: Users might expect the system to be user friendly, fast and flexible.
2. system critial issues.
eg: Calculation of Total value in Billing system or the bugs that can crash the system like memory leaks of memory violations..!
