risk-matrix

Overview

Per rbt-wiki:

"Risk-based testing (RBT) is 'a type of software testing that functions as an organizational principle used to prioritize the tests of features and functions in software, based on the risk of failure.'"

The risk matrix is the artifact that drives RBT decisions. Without it, prioritization is gut-feel; with it, the team has a defensible record of "why we tested this and not that."
