The two-day Introduction To Risk-Based Testing Workshop introduces the key concepts behind risk management and how they should be applied to testing. From the testing perspective, risks are associated with the deliverable software product (the consequences if the software fails in use) and also how the project is run (e.g. if development overruns so reducing the time available for testing). The three basic stages of risk identification, risk estimation and risk mitigation are covered in the workshop in terms of the management of testing both during project development and after the delivery of the software into use.
The Introduction To Risk-Based Testing Workshop will cover the following topics:
• Real-Life Risks
• Risks In IT
• Project Management & Risk
• Testing & Risk
• Test Management & Risk
• Risk Management Process
• Risk Identification
• Risk Analysis
• Risk Mitigation
• Selecting Techniques
• Ongoing Risk Management
• Risk Management Process Improvement
This Introduction To Risk-Based Testing Workshop includes slides, exercises and practical work, and uses a hands-on approach based on group exercises and discussions. It is highly interactive, allowing attendees to learn from the experience of the instructor and each other, and, owing to its interactive nature, each workshop is restricted to a maximum of 18 delegates.
The Introduction To Risk-Based Testing Workshop is principally aimed at test practitioners who are actively involved in software testing, and who want to ensure that they are fully aware of current best industry practices.
This includes people in roles such as Testers, Test Analysts, Test Engineers, Test Consultants, Test Managers, User Acceptance Testers and Software Developers. This workshop is also appropriate for non-testers who want a deeper understanding of software testing, such as Project Managers, Quality Managers, Software Development Managers, Business Analysts and Management Consultants.
You will be provided with your own workbook containing copies of all slides.
There are no formal entry requirements for this workshop, although prior experience of working on IT projects is certainly beneficial, either as testers, or in a development or management role.
There is no formal prereading for this Introduction To Risk-Based Testing Workshop.
There is no examination with this Introduction To Risk-Based Testing Workshop.
The Introduction To Risk-Based Testing Workshop is intended as an introduction to best practices for those new to risk-based testing and as a refresher for more experienced test professionals to the current state of industry thinking.
