Occurs when the project has one or more test-related risks.

Third, trap performance

3. The risk at the test level is not included in the project risk, otherwise it is necessary to report or take action to the executive management.

3. There is no test risk management and no risk response strategy.

two。 The person in charge of the risk bank has not been trained or exposed to potential test risks

3. System-level risks are overemphasized in the process of risk management, regardless of the risks of any development activities.

4. Very little evaluation of QA and QC

5. Little supervision over the testing process

VI. Suggestions

1. Prepare for

two。 Enable

Ensure that the person managing the risk base is aware of the risks associated with potential testing

3. Execution

Identify test-related risks and organize them into the project's official risk base.

Provide actual possibility, hazard severity and priority of test risk

4. Verification

Determine if the appropriate amount of test risk is included in the risk library

Determine whether there is adequate test process management and quality supervision and evaluation.

VII. Related Bug

Unrealistic test expectations.
