Task prioritization is one of the most researched areas in software development. Given huge number papers written on topic, it might be challenging for IT practitioners-software developers, and project managers-to find appropriate tools or methods developed to date deal with this important issue. The main goal work therefore review current state research practice task Software Engineering domain individuate effective ranking techniques used industry. For purpose, we conducted a systematic literature guided inspired by Preferred Reporting Items Systematic Reviews Meta-Analyses, otherwise known as PRISMA statement. Based our analysis, can make observations field. Firstly, found that approaches involve specific type strategy-bug prioritization. Secondly, recent works investigate terms "pull request prioritization" "issue prioritization," (and speculate such will significantly increase due explosion version control issue management systems). Thirdly, remark frequently metrics measuring quality model are f-score, precision, recall, accuracy.
