Test selection techniques – Requirements based, Model based, Checklists, Reactive testing
There are several techniques that can be used for choosing test conditions. The risk based strategy for testing was discussed in the previous section, which is one of the commonly used techniques by Test Managers for choosing tests.
Requirement based testing technique is another important alternative for building and prioritizing testing conditions. Some of the these techniques are discussed below. [Read more…] about Test selection techniques – Requirements based, Model based, Checklists, Reactive testing
What are the different Risk Based Testing (RBT) Techniques?
Several techniques are available for Risk Based Testing (RBT). Many of these are very informal. For example, in some informal methods, tester investigates risks to quality while doing exploratory tests. This may drive the whole testing process but also focus more on probability of a defect occurring rather than its impact.

Risk can be defined as possibility of an adverse or unwanted result or occurrence. If stakeholders, users or customer opinion about the project’s quality or successful completion of the project can potentially be reduced due to a problem or issue, risk is said to exist.
