    Main Description
    Method of operation

    In executing previous activities, the test manager obtained a picture of the (im)possibilities for the test process, but also of threats and risks. The master test plan indicates, for each risk, whether, and if yes, which, countermeasures have been taken to cover or mitigate the detected risk. Think of preventative
    measures to avoid risks, but possibly also of detection measures to detect problems in time or corrective measures to solve the consequences.
