1.TTA task in risk based testing Flashcards
What is project risk?
A risk that impacts project sucess
What is product risk?
A risk impacting the quality of a product
TTA involve with wich type of stakeholders during product risk?
Developers
Risks that should be considered by the Technical Test
Analyst?
A high number of reliability defects were found compared with the previous version
Required updates to the security testing tool database are poorly configured
In other words related to security,system reliability and performance
What the Test Manager do?
Has the responsability for estabilishing and managing risk based testing strategy
What are the risk based testing tasks that TTA implement?
.Risk Indetification
.Risk Mitigation
.Risk Assessment
Examples of project risk?
.project find more defects than expected(time and cost)
.project subject experts not available(delyaing the project)
.additional licensung costs for software to the project(cost)
What is risk identification?
The process of finding,recognizing and describing risks
Typical risks identified by the TTA?
.Performance Efficiency(ex: inability to achieve response times under high load conditions)
.Security(ex: disclosure of sensitive data)
.Reliability(ex:application unable to meet availability in the service level agreement)
What is risk assessment?
Examine identified risks and determine the risk level,categorize the likelihood and impact associated with it
Factors influencing business risk?
.frequency of use the affected software
.Business Loss
.Financial Damage
.Safety Concerns
.Fines,loss of license
.Visibilty of the feature
.Loss of costumers
Who identifies the business risk?
Test Analyst
Who identifies the techical risk?
Technical Test Analyst
What is the TTA contribution?
Contributes to understanding the potential technical product risk for each risk item
What is the Test Analyst contribution?
Contributes to understanding the potential business impact of th problem
Typical project risks?
.conflict between stakeholders
.Communication problems
.Tools and technology
.Time,resource and managment pressure
.Lack of earlier quality assurance
.High changes of rates of technical requirements
Typical product risks?
.Complexety of technology
.Complexety of code structure
.Amount of re-use compared to new code
.Large number of defects found
.Technical interface and integration issues
What are the two measures to measure the risk assessment? And how they differ?
.Quantitive : Cacluate the impact and likelihood of risks from known facts
.Qualitative : Involves assiging the value of impact and likelihood using subjective judgement
What is risk mitigation?
Protective measures are implemented for reducing or maintaining risk to specified levels
What are the four main options to mitigate the risk?
.acceptance
.prevention
.transference
.contingency
What is the risk mitigation approach?
.Designing test cases for those risk adressing high risk areas and helping evaluate the residual risk
.Reducing risk by executing the most important tests and by putting into action appropriate mitigation and contingency measures as stated in the test plan
.Evaluating risks based on additional information gathered as the projects unfolds,and using that information to implement mitigation measures aimed ate the likelihood and impact of those risks
