Risk Based Testing for Projects

Risk. It's a fact that every project we undertake will face risk and barriers to success. The key to success is to have no risk - but few of us will ever be in the enviable position of having a risk free project. So, the questions is know how to assess, maesure and mange your risk?

Risk is driven from business impact (how much will this hurt if it goes wrong?), but the trigger of these business risks is often a fault in the delivered product. In order to address the risk to the correct degree (mitigation) the analysis of risk must include the likelihood factor for the risk occurring (how likely is it that there will be a fault in this part of the system). You may presently have a mature and effective test function within your organisation and already be applying a risk based testing approach, but are the benefits measurable? Can you demonstrate the value add of the test function? Do you still have an unacceptable number of high severity faults in the live environment? Are your customers happy and do they feel appropriately involved in the delivery process?

tsg has developed its proprietary 'Risk Based Assurance & Acceptance' approach to testing specifically to manage and mitigate project risk. After all, if you have no risk you wouldn't be concerned and you certainly wouldn't test.
