How to review and improve your test strategy
Blog post from Qase
Risk-based testing is likened to an investment portfolio that requires continuous review and adjustment to ensure its effectiveness in reducing risks at a reasonable cost. The testing strategy should adapt to changing conditions, such as regulatory updates like GDPR or shifts in market competitiveness, and should be evaluated using both leading and lagging indicators to assess its impact on defect containment and overall quality. Scheduled, event-driven, and early-warning reviews are necessary to maintain alignment with current risks and avoid unnecessary expenditures. Metrics such as defect containment, cost of quality (CoQ), and customer impact serve as proxies to evaluate the portfolio's performance, guiding decisions on whether to increase, reduce, stop, or reallocate testing resources. The process of risk identification, quantification, and prioritization is continuous, requiring periodic adjustments to the testing portfolio to address new risks and maintain effectiveness, ensuring that resources are focused where they most efficiently reduce risk and support business objectives.
