Risk-Based Coverage is a testing approach that prioritises testing efforts based on associated risks with different features or components of a system.
Key Aspects:
- Prioritisation: Focus testing on high-risk areas first.
- Resource Allocation: Allocate testing resources according to identified risks.
- Test Design: Create test cases that address high-risk components specifically.
Benefits of using risk-based coverage:
- Improves testing efficiency
- Enhances overall software quality
- Reduces time spent on low-risk areas
