Quality Assurance is a crucial factor for any project’s ultimate success. With Risk Based Testing gaining more traction nowadays, we also explore as to why Risk-Based Testing is the choice of industries today and why it has an edge over Exhaustive Testing. At Suyati, we strive for perfection in getting those bugs out, irrespective of the volume or nature of work. Whether it is testing the performance of a site to check if it is geared up for increase in user volume, or security testing your business’s data, applications to ensure they are safe from hackers or rivals, we have the right expertise and tools to handle the challenges. Suyati’s QA repertoire also includes usability testing, database testing and automation testing.

2. What is Software Testing?
The process of validating and verifying a software program or
application or product:
 Meets the business and technical requirements
 Works as expected
 Can be implemented with the same characteristic.

3.  Functional testing is performed to
verify that a software application
performs and functions correctly
according to design specifications.
What is Functional Testing

4.  Risk based testing uses risk to prioritize and emphasize the
appropriate tests during test execution. Risk is the
probability of occurrence of an undesirable outcome.
 Exhaustive testing is a testing or quality assurance
approach in which all possible combinations of scenarios
and use/test cases are used for testing.
Risk Based and Exhaustive Testing

5. Why do we need Risk Based Testing
 Identifying risk helps planning, specification, preparation and
execution.
 Risk-based testing involves both mitigation and consistency
 Involves measuring how well we are doing at finding and removing
defects in critical areas.
 Identifies proactive opportunities to remove or prevent defects

6. Risk Analysis fundamentals in software testing

7. Risk Identification
Involves collecting information about
the project and classifying it to
determine the amount of potential risk
in the test phase and in production (in
the future).

8. Risk Strategy
Strategizing and planning involves the
identification and assessment of risks and
the development of contingency plans for
possible alternative project activity or the
mitigation of all risks.

9. Risk Assessment
 Is this a risk or not?
 How serious is the risk?
 What are the consequences?
 What is the likelihood of this risk happening?
Risk assessments involves asking questions such as-

10. Risk Mitigation and Reporting
 Risk mitigation/avoidance activities
avoid risks or minimize their impact.
 Risk reporting is based on information
obtained from the previous topics

11. Risk Prediction
 Risk prediction involves forecasting risks using the history
and knowledge of previously identified risks.
 During test execution each individual function is monitored
using additional testing.

12. Metrics for Progress Tracking
1. the number of tests planned, executed and completed
2. the number of faults per function
3. the number of hours used in testing per fault found
4. the number of hours used in fixing per fault

13. Exhaustive Testing
The process of testing for absolutely
everything just to make sure that the
product cannot be destroyed or
crashed by some random
happenstance.

14. Why Choose Risk Based Over Exhaustive
 Considerable savings on time, money, and effort
 Improving the efficiency of the tests
 It brings the focus on actual business needs over functional
perfection
 Strike a balance between end user requirements and technical
perfection
