Give me all the risk based testing resources you have! Thanks in advance ---

My summary: - Risk = Likelihood x Impact expressed in money. - Risk = Likelihood x Impact using relative factors (1 = low, 2, = medium, 3 = high). - Risk = Likelihood x Impact = (Long term consequences in the system x (Internal costs + External costs))x(frequency x complexity) using relative factors - MAINTAIN Software Management - Risk = Likelihood x Impact = (Internal costs + External costs)x(frequency x complexity) using relative factors - SmarTEST - Risk = Likelihood X Impact using other relative factors - PRISMA or Product RISk MAnagement. - Gather examples of stories and assign relative risk to them, then use MoSCoW (Must Test, Should Test, Could Test, Would Test) for remaining stories - Risk and Requirement Based Testing (RRBT) - Use heuristics Risk Analysis Heuristics (for Digital Products), SFDIPOT, and FEW HICCUPS in combination with Session Based Management (SBTM) - Rapid Software Testing - Riskstorming workshop with Testsphere - Workshop using quality attributes (E.g. ISO) and possible situations, followed by dot voting. Disclaimer: - there are probably other risk based resources. Warning: a test strategy is not static. Use new insights to adjust the strategy accordingly. ---

I came here today after a long time, seeking an answer to the same question. Here is one link from 2017 from this forum - [Let's talk about figuring out risks! - #2 by jasmintestscode](https://club.ministryoftesting.com/t/lets-talk-about-figuring-out-risks/11720/2) Another link from 2018 from this forums, which has more resources [Risk Based Software Testing Resources](https://club.ministryoftesting.com/t/risk-based-software-testing-resources/13366) Did you find any practical and actionable resources other than the stuff in the above links ? Were they better ? ---

Hey! I watched a task by jenna carlton on here that delved into risk based testing. One of the interesting things that jenna talked about was a ‘math of risk’ concept. This is something that I introduced in my workplace and we have managed to reduce our regression cycle. Something about maths helped everyone understand risk based testing… ---

[James Bach has a nice talk on this](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sz-WiCV2eh4), from a very practical perspective, with heuristics for risk analysis. [Michael Bolton as well](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g97mMeC9EIE), but more from a test strategy point of view. ---

Hi melissa, I’d like to see that talk/article about risk based testing + math of risk by Jenna carlton. Where can I get it ? ---

I find using a simplified FMEA helpful : [FMEA (Failure Mode and Effects Analysis) Quick Guide](https://www.isixsigma.com/tools-templates/fmea/fmea-quick-guide/) ---

Hey, do you have PRO ministry of testing membership? If you go to LEARN and search for risk based regression or jenna carlton, then you should be able to find it. ---

I just wrote about how FMEA can be used to idenfy risk: [http://testandanalysis.home.blog/2021/11/16/how-can-you-work-with-your-team-to-identify-risks/](https://t.co/HaNFiPqIa1?amp=1) ---

ey Melissa, It’s good to see your curiosity in exploring this dimension of software testing. I have been associated with the Quality Assurance industry for a long period of time, but I rarely get to find such queries showing up. Here’s a quick resource from my company’s website containing all the detailed insights you need related to [Risk-Based Testing : Introduction, Importance, Benefits, Approach & Much More](https://www.bugraptors.com/blog/risk-based-testing-introduction-importance-benefits-approach). I hope that will help you build some knowledge on risk-based testing. And just in case, you need some more information, feel free to share. I will be extremely glad to find more detail and share it with you. ---

thanks. that’s very kind of you! I do have knowledge in risk based testing. What I was trying to do was educate others in what risk based testing was about, hence looking for resources. I’ll have a look through your link though to see what else i can learn. cheers! ---
