The set of conditions for officially starting a defined task.
Exit Criteria
The set of conditions for officially completing a defined task.
Product Risk
A risk that impacts the quality of a product.
Project Risk
A risk that impacts project success.
Risk
A factor that could result in future negative consequences.
Risk Analysis
The overall process of risk identification and risk assessment.
Risk Assessment
The process to examine identified risks and determine the risk level.
Risk Control

Risk Identification
The process of finding, recognizing and describing risks.
Risk Level
The measure of a risk defined by risk impact and risk likelihood.
Risk Management
The process for handling risks.
Risk Mitigation
The process through which decisions are reached and protective measures are implemented for reducing or maintaining risks to specified levels.
Risk Monitoring
The activity that checks and reports the status of known risks to stakeholders.
Risk-based Testing
Testing in which the management, selection, prioritization, and use of testing activities and resources are based on corresponding risk types and risk levels.
Test Approach
Testing in which the management, selection, prioritization, and use of testing activities and resources are based on corresponding risk types and risk levels.
Test Completion Report
A type of test report produced at completion milestones that provides an evaluation of the corresponding test items against exit criteria.
Test Control
The activity that develops and applies corrective actions to get a test project on track when it deviates from what was planned.
Test Monitoring
The activity that checks the status of testing activities, identifies any variances from planned or expected, and reports status to stakeholders.
Test Plan
Documentation describing the test objectives to be achieved and the means and the schedule for achieving them, organized to coordinate testing activities.
Test Planning
The activity of establishing or updating a test plan.
Test Progress Report
A type of periodic test report that includes the progress of test activities against a baseline, risks, and alternatives requiring a decision.
Test Pyramid
A graphical model representing the relationship of the amount of testing per level, with more at the bottom than at the top.
Testing Quadrants
A classification model of test types/test levels in four quadrants, relating them to two dimensions of test objectives: supporting the product team versus critiquing the product, and technology-facing versus business-facing.
