Risk-Based Testing is a commonly used term and one which most testers will be familiar with. However, this session seeks to clarify the requirements for adopting a Risk-Based approach by

considering the context of the business. For example, are your projects driven to ‘deliver business benefit’ or ‘mitigate risk’? It may be that you are being challenged with ‘testing too much’ and‘not knowing when to stop testing’.

Purpose
Risk-Based Testing can focus testing across a whole project in these areas and this course explores the different types of techniques and how to apply them. It establishes the importance of achieving the balance by using the right techniques to provide business benefit, avoiding the pitfalls around establishing an approach which can hinder efficiency and effectiveness.
