Risk based testing and test automation
Risk Based Testing
Over the last ten years, professionals working in software and system development have learned how to apply the powerful techniques of risk analysis and risk management to their projects. In this tutorial you'll learn:
- How to apply risk analysis techniques to identify risks to the quality of the system and to assess their likelihoods and impacts.
- How risk prioritization can tell testing professionals where to focus development and test resources.
- How the project team can improve the accuracy of the risk analysis--and thus the effectiveness and efficiency of testing--throughout the system development lifecycle.
The tutorial will discuss the various techniques, and illustrate them through real case studies.
