You are writing the project test plan and are analysing the following risks in the project risk register:
Which would be the MOST appropriate test activities to mitigate the product risks?
A.
Ignore Risk 1 as this cannot be mitigated by testing activities. Apply performance testing for Risk 2 and schedule it ahead of security testing for Risk 4. Disregard Risk 3 as it cannot be mitigated by test activities
B.
Apply portability testing for Risk 1 and schedule it ahead of security testing for Risk 4 and finally performance testing for Risk 2. Embed users with visual disabilities into the design team for Risk 3
C.
Ignore Risk 1 as this cannot be mitigated by testing activities. Apply security testing for Risk 4 and schedule it ahead of performance testing for Risk 2. Conduct reviews of early screen designs and involve users with visual disabilities
D.
Ignore Risk 1 as this is not within scope of a project test strategy. Apply performance testing for Risks 2 and 4, but schedule Risk 4 testing first. Ensure end-users with visual disabilities are involved during UAT
Risk 1 is about environment availability, aproject risk, not a product risk — cannot be mitigated by test execution.
For Risk 2 (performance), conductperformance testing; for Risk 4 (security), dosecurity testingfirst due to severity.
For Risk 3, earlyusability reviewsand involving users with disabilities supports accessibility testing.
“Risk-based testing... involves the identification of product risks and the assessment of each risk’s likelihood and impact... Testing is used as a risk mitigation activity”.
“User experience (UX) feedback might not meet product expectations” is listed as a quality risk example.
