QA Therapy

Show Notes

Do you have difficulties knowing what to test? Do you feel that critical issues are reaching production despite your efforts? In this episode, we discuss risk-storming and taking a risk-based approach in your projects, where testing plays a key part. Today, we have Chris Armstrong, our expert QA Therapist. Chris is an active blogger and podcaster participating in TestingPeers and 9 out of 10 testers. Once you define what risk means for your company and how to classify it, you need to manage it in your daily activities. Jira and Xray can help you with risk management and risk-based testing. You can define custom fields that will hold risk information, or use a special Jira app for risk management. Take a look at our tutorials that can assist you with risk-based testing with Xray. https://hubs.li/Q01qB90T0
