Risk-based testing means organizing test strategy around suspected product risks. This means testers perform risk analysis
- before tests are performed, to guide the testing process;
- while performing tests, to notice possible problems and to adjust the strategy; and
- after the product is released, to learn about risks that were missed in earlier planning and testing.
Risk-based testing is a powerful way to focus testing work, and to justify the time and energy it takes to test deeply.
This one-day workshop focuses on risk analysis as it relates to testing and fits within the Rapid Software Testing methodology. We use risk heuristics and focus on assessment rather than measurement of risks, since software risks cannot be measured except in rare situations. Risk assessments are socially constructed, but we show how that process can and should be done systematically and be grounded in evidence.
