This document discusses risk-based testing and test progress monitoring. It explains that gathering metrics on product risks, defects, test coverage, and confidence is important for monitoring test progress objectively and subjectively. Inaccurate monitoring can lead to incorrect management decisions. Risk-based testing involves identifying project and product risks, assessing their level and likelihood, and mitigating risks through techniques like testing to reduce defects before release. The test analyst's role is to implement the risk-based approach correctly by determining what to test first based on risk.

15. Risk-Based Testing - Risk Mitigation
Quality Risks
Defects
Reduce risk by providing awareness of the defects and opportunities to deal with before release.
No defects
Reduces risk by ensuring that, under certain conditions the system operates correctly.
Testing is a form of mitigation for such risks

16. Depth-first
•All of the highest risk tests are run before any lower risk tests
•Tests are run in strict risk order
Breadth-first
•Select a sample of tests across all the identified risks using risk to weight the selection
•Ensuring coverage of every risk at least once
