Main Description
| Method of operation In performing the preceding activities, the test manager has obtained a picture of the possibilities (and/or impossibilities) in connection with the test process, but also of threats and risks. In the test plan, an indication is provided per risk whether measures have been taken – and if so, which ones – to cover or reduce the risk found. Bear in mind here preventive measures for avoiding risks, but perhaps also measures to enable timely detection of problems. These risks are then monitored during the management of the test process. It should be realised that this step is no more than paying mind to the risks as they are known at the beginning of the phase. Thereafter, the test manager includes these risks in the progress report under the separate section “Project risks”. Subsequently, these risks are tracked, monitored, removed, new risks found, etc. If this activity takes place at project level, it can be combined with it.
