By Himanshu on 5/3/2021

The idea of management in the IT field, risk management, is one of the elementary term familiars to the QA specialists. All software development activities involve risks. A step-by-step risk management plan implies identification, analysis, assessment, and treatment of the unfavorable conditions. If followed correctly, it results in preventing any kind of harmful effect on the software product.

What is the Risk in Software Testing?
There can be many definitions of risk, and the definition depends on the potential loss. Risk assessment can answer the following questions:

  1. 1. What issues can happen? 
    2. The reason behind these issues due to it happen? 
    3. What are the consequences due to these issues? 
    4. How high is the probability of this outcome? 
    5. What can be the factors to reduce the risk probability? 
    6. Is the risk correct or not? 
    7. Will this issue requires further input?

5. What factors can reduce the risk? 
6. Check the effectiveness of the activities, making sure the applied measures help; and evaluate the work done in general.
