Las pruebas basadas en riesgos son un tipo de prueba que ayuda a identificar los riesgos del producto desde el inicio de desarrollo, incorporando técnicas que permitan su identificación y ser clasificados según su impacto y probabilidad, de modo que permitan crear casos de prueba para aquellos requerimientos que sean requeridos. Sin embargo, en las organizaciones de desarrollo software los riesgos que se identifican tienen relación con la planificación o coste del proyecto para garantizar la entrega del producto y no consideran otros riesgos como elementos de entrada para la creación de casos de prueba y evaluación de la calidad del producto. Este tipo de pruebas ayudan a detectar fallas tempranas durante el desarrollo del producto y a través de métricas poder evaluar el desempeño de los casos de pruebas. Actualmente, existen propuestas de como incorporar pruebas basadas en riesgos que se describirán en este documento y que se han identificado a través de un mapeo sistemático de la literatura.

“…Although several risk-based testing approaches have been proposed (Erdogan et al 2014), only a few empirical studies on risk-based testing are available (Yoon and Choi 2011;Souza et al 2010;Felderer and Ramler 2014a, b). Yoon and Choi (2011) propose a test case prioritization strategy for risk-based testing and evaluate its effectiveness on the basis of data from a traffic conflict avoidance system.…”

“…Yoon and Choi (2011) propose a test case prioritization strategy for risk-based testing and evaluate its effectiveness on the basis of data from a traffic conflict avoidance system. Souza et al (2010) indicate in a small case study that risk-based testing focuses on the parts of a software that are more likely to fail. The risk-based testing approach is based on their risk-based test process RBTProcess (Souza et al 2009) which consists of the phases risk identification, risk analysis, test planning, test design, test execution, as well as test evaluation and risk control.…”

Risk orientation in testing is an important means to balance quality, time-tomarket, and cost of software. Especially for small and medium enterprises (SME) under high competitive and economic pressure, risk orientation can help to focus testing activities on critical areas of a software product. Although several risk-based approaches to testing are available, the topic has so far not been investigated in the context of SME, where risks are often associated with business critical issues. This article fills the gap and explores the state of risk orientation in the testing processes of SME. Furthermore, it compares the state of risk-based testing in SME to the situation in large enterprises. The article is based on a multiple case study conducted with five SME. A previous study on risk-based testing in large enterprises is used as reference for investigating the differences between risk orientation in SME and large enterprises. The findings of our study show that a strong business focus, the use of informal risk concepts, as well as the application of risk knowledge to reduce testing cost and time are key differences of risk-based testing in SME compared to large enterprises.

“…Risk is measured on the basis of the Factor-Criteria-Metrics model and annotated to UML use case and activity diagrams from which test cases are derived. 05 Souza et al [19,20] The approach defines a risk-based test process including the activities (1) risk identification, (2) risk analysis, (3) test planning, (4) test design, (5) test execution, as well as (6) test evaluation and risk control. In addition, metrics to measure and control RBT activities are given.…”

Abstract. In industry, testing has to be performed under severe pressure due to limited resources. Risk-based testing which uses risks to guide the test process is applied to allocate resources and to reduce product risks. Risk assessment, i.e., risk identification, analysis and evaluation, determines the significance of the risk values assigned to tests and therefore the quality of the overall risk-based test process. In this paper we provide a risk assessment model and its integration into an established test process. This framework is derived on the basis of best practices extracted from published risk-based testing approaches and applied to an industrial test process.
