How to build a test strategy from risks
Blog post from Qase
In developing a risk-based testing strategy, it's crucial to map ranked risks to specific quality characteristics, using a framework like ISO 25010, to ensure that testing activities are effectively aligned with potential failures. The process involves selecting appropriate testing types and levels based on each risk's characteristics, utilizing both static and dynamic testing to provide comprehensive coverage while minimizing costs. Static testing, such as code reviews and architecture inspections, is used for early detection of issues, whereas dynamic testing is necessary for risks that manifest only during execution. The strategy also emphasizes the importance of diverse redundancy to enhance confidence in results, avoiding correlated overlaps that don't add value. A traceable mapping of risks to controls and evidence is essential for justifying testing decisions and ensuring stakeholders can clearly see the rationale behind each action. This systematic approach results in a testing portfolio that is adaptable, defensible, and continuously refined based on outcomes and changing risks, moving beyond mere templates and best practices to an evidence-driven framework that aligns with organizational goals.
