affecting the success of the Test Plan. You must identify mitigation and

contingency strategies for each risk.

It includes the following 3 three sub items:

7.1 Risk7.1 RiskLists the risk

7.2 Mitigation Strategy7.2 Mitigation StrategyThe solution to mitigate the each specified risk

7.3 Contingency (Risk is realized)7.3 Contingency (Risk is realized)When the risk happened,which solution, strategywill be used

Test plan template Risk

7. Risk (Cont.)7. Risk (Cont.)Ex: Extract from Test Plan CPD 1.5

Risk Mitigation Strategy

Contingency (Risk is

realized)

Not enough time to test

Optimize the test scheduleand define overtimestrategy at the beginning.

Increase testing resource(human, equipment,..)

Lack of resource for test

Request IT soon to supportthe system resource

Use personal resource
