Risk Based Testing eLearning course

Risk-Based Testing eLearning

Introduction

Often risk-based testing is conceived to be only about risk-based test management – allocating resources to test activities according to particular product risks. When the term risk-based testing is used, it means both risk-based test management and risk-based test design.

Test design picks up where management leaves off. Risk-based test design is the process of designing tests that reveal information about particular product risks. The principal concern of risk-based test design is whether the product will indeed fail in a way that we fear it might. The outcome is a set of particular tests to determine just that.

This course is designed to introduce testing resource to the skills and benefits of using a risk-based approach.
