Risk-based testing in practice (2 evenings - Nov 18+23)

How do we ensure the right quality when we don’t have the time or resources to test everything?

Description

• In this course we work with risk-based testing based on TMAP’s approach to Product Risk Analysis (PRA) and test strategy.
• The course focuses on how teams identify, assess and prioritize risks in practice and how risks are used actively to steer the test effort and other quality measures.
• We combine theory with practical exercises and lightweight methods such as Risk Poker and PRISMA, and we look at how risk work changes depending on the development model, from classic projects to Scrum and DevOps.

Target audience
Testers, QA professionals, Scrum Teams, POs, developers, test managers, project managers.
