What is Risk Based Testing?

Identify and prioritize the risks associated with the software application based on their potential impact on the end-users. This will help to focus the testing efforts on the areas with the highest risk first.

Identify & prioritize the risks

1

Determine the scope of testing and the areas of the software application that require the most attention based on the identified risks.

Define the scope of testing

2

For example, if security is a high-risk area, then security testing techniques such as penetration testing or vulnerability scanning may be required.

Select the appropriate testing techniques

3

Decide on the level of testing required for each risk. For example, high-risk areas may require more extensive testing than low-risk areas.

Determine the level of testing

4

Ensure that the testing results meet these criteria. This will help to ensure that the software application meets the required quality standards.

Define the acceptance criteria

5

Develop a testing strategy that outlines the testing approach, test cases, and testing techniques to be used to mitigate the identified risks.

Define the testing strategy

6

Monitor and review the testing results to ensure that the testing efforts are effective in mitigating the identified risks. This will help to identify issues in the testing approach.
