Risk matrix calculator
Enter 3 to 10 modules or functions and rate likelihood and impact from 1 to 5. You see the matrix, the order and the recommended test depth straight away.
Your test items
Modules, functions or the changes in a release. You can overwrite the example.
- Likelihood
- 1 = barely changed, no recent defects · 5 = newly built or heavily changed, many recent defects
- Impact
- 1 = minor inconvenience · 5 = money, customers, supervisor or operations seriously affected
