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.

What is Risk Based Testing? Identifying, Assessing, Mitigating & Managing Risks
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.

What is Risk based testing?
Risk based testing is basically a testing done for the project based on risks. Risk based testing uses risk to prioritize and emphasize the appropriate tests during test execution. In simple terms – Risk is the probability of occurrence of an undesirable outcome. This outcome is also associated with an impact. Since there might not be sufficient time to test all functionality, Risk based testing involves testing the functionality which has the highest impact and probability of failure.
Risk-based testing is the idea that we can organize our testing efforts in a way that reduces the residual level of product risk when the system is deployed. [Read more…] about What is Risk based testing?
