Before we start testing for any project, we need to develop a testing strategy. Like any other strategy, it should include detail steps for achieving testing goal(s) and resources & timeline involved during the steps execution. The strategy should also include assumptions if there are any. All risks that might affect the strategy need to be identified. Identified risks need to be mitigated further by analyzing. This article describes a methodology for identifying risks involved in testing phases of a testing project, which can be used further to identify types of testing needed and effort required to test the product successfully. The matrix below provides mapping between testing phases and types of testing involves in those phases. Step 1: Go through every phase and types of testing and ask “What is the risk am I taking by not testing it?” Step 2: Fill the matrix cell with priority of the risk – “High”, “Medium” and “Low.” If testing is not required for the phase, mark the ce
