We understand that programme managers are constantly struggling with insufficient time, people and money to satisfy the testing requirements of their business.
Risk-Based Testing (RBT) is widely recognised as the most effective way to drive the choice of the appropriate level of testing for a given situation, whether a situation dictates that there is not enough time or money to run the full test suite or senior business management and business stakeholders require assurance that the important business risks have been mitigated before a new product is launched to their customers.
What is Risk-Based Testing?
RBT is a methodology which identifies the key risks in developments and scores them according to their likely impact on the company. It uses inputs from key business stakeholders to develop a risk register, which in turn establishes what the 'good enough' level of testing is in each situation to mitigate the identified risks.
How Will It Be Delivered?
We have developed an end-to-end RBT solution tailored to your needs. Our offering is unique in that we can deliver a full RBT solution over distinct phases, allowing adjustment to the idea of driving testing using business risk and assisting with its integration as usual practice. This minimises the impact on an organisation and allows for maximum flexibility as it can be delivered to varying levels of complexity. We offer a combination of consultancy, training, delivery support and tools which integrate into your existing team and enable RBT to be successfully executed.
