Risk
Analysis is very essential for software testing. In software testing, risk
analysis is the process of identifying risks in applications and prioritizing
them to test. A risk is a potential for loss or damage to an organization from
materialized threats. A threat as we have seen is a possible damaging event. If
it occurs, it exploits vulnerability in the security of a computer based
system.
Items with higher risk
values should be tested early and often. Items with lower risk value can be
tested later, or not at all. It can also be used with defects.
HOW TO PERFORM A RISK ANALYSIS IN SOFTWARE
TESTING:
Consideration along with the possibility of
their occurrence and the damage they may cause along with solutions; if any.
Detailed study of this is called Risk Analysis.

Sequence of code delivery.
· Availability of application test resources.
Three perspectives
of Risk Assessment
- Effect.
- Cause.
- Likelihood.
Effect - To assess risk by Effect, identify a condition, event or action and try to determine its impact.
Cause - To asses risk by Cause is opposite of by Effect. Begin by stating an undesirable event or condition and identify the set of events that could have permitted the condition to exist.
Likelihood - To asses risk by Likelihood is to determine the probability that a requirement will not be satisfied.
Risk Assessment:
Risk assessment may be the most important step in the risk management process, and may also be the most difficult and prone to error. Once risks have been identified and assessed, the steps to properly deal with them are much more programmatically.

Risk Management:
Risk management is a structured approach to managing uncertainty through, risk assessment, developing strategies to manage it, and mitigation of risk using managerial resources. The strategies include transferring the risk to another party, avoiding the risk, reducing the negative effect of the risk, and accepting some or all of the consequences of a particular risk.
