Risks based Software Testing
What does risk mean ? Put simply, risk is something that could result in negative consequences in the future. Risk is viewed in terms of its impact and likelihood of occurrence. Risks in software testing may be broadly classified as product risks and project risks. Product risks relate directly to the software being tested, while project risks relate to the test project’s management and control.
Product risks are also called quality risks and are those risks that mainly effect the product’s quality. Example: a defect in the software that can cause it to corrupt data.
