Day 1 – Risk Based Testing (April 15, 2011)

Topic Details Time Duration

Registration

-------------

09:00 am

30 min

Risk Based Testing – Process
(Session 1)
 

  • Introduction to ‘conventional’ testing strategies and their shortcoming

  • RBT as part of testing/development cycles – addressing the tradeoff between ‘quality’ and time/resources available.

  • Relationship between test-cases (their types, density/number, and risks

  • Role of automation in RBT

    The session will end with the participants getting introduced to a RBT process framework along with enabling tools that they can use.

09:00 am

45 min

Experiences with RBT
(Session 2)
 

Case Study (Case 1 and Case 2) based informal discussion on what/why risk-based testing (RBT).

- Discussion on the role of RBT based-on participants’ experiences with
  RBT
- Facilitate identification of some of the perceived/real risks
- Informal analysis of the risks – their impact and likelihood of occurrence
 

10:15 am

30 min

Coffee / Tea Break (15 min)

Risk Identification and Analysis
(Session 3)

 

 

Facilitated discussion using Case 1 & 2
 

  • Risk Identification techniques:

    -  Consideration of factors such a code/algorithmic complexity,
       people involved, visibility, usage frequency, time, bug history,
       technology in use, coverage metrics, etc.

    -  Quality considerations – functionality, reliability, usability,
       efficiency, maintainability etc.)

     

  • ‘Units’ with which risks will be associated – functions, classes, modules, use-case, etc. – Some ways to select appropriate units for a given project.

  • Risk analysis – estimation of probability of occurrence and impact. Risk Prioritization.

 

 

  • Hands-on: Risk identification and analysis for Case 1 & 2 using excel based tool-kit

11:45 am

60 min

Lunch Break (45 min)

Risk Based Testing
(Session 4)
 

 

Facilitated discussion on
 

  • Mapping risk profile to test strategy

  • Choice of test cases, scope of regression tests, based on risk profile

  • Ways to identify areas of testing that are worthwhile automating based on the risk-profile.

Discussion will use Case 1 and Case 2 for illustrations along with the framework and tools that the participants would have briefly been introduced to in Session 2.

13:30 pm

45 min

Hands-on: Mapping of strategies and case studies from Case 1 & 2

RBT Results - Reporting and Metrics
(Session 5)
 

  • Risk-based failure/bug characterization

  • Risk based metrics – reconciling risks, tests carried out and failures detected.

  • Estimation of residual ‘risk’ and defects based on standard defect metrics, the test results and the risk profile

  • Feeding the test results back into the risk-profile

  • Client perception management with RBT – what and how to report ‘quality’ and ‘test’ metrics to the client.
