Welcome to your interview.

The question is on your right: Prioritize Tests Using Risk-Based Testing. Take a moment with it first.

Talk your thinking through with me if you like - when you're confident, submit your answer and I'll grade it like a real screen (7/10 or better passes). Discussion and graded submissions share your five interviewer interactions, so spend them well.

Problem

Scenario

You are planning QA for a release and cannot run every possible test before sign-off. Some areas of the product are business-critical, some change frequently, and some have a history of defects, so you need a clear way to focus limited testing effort where failure would matter most.

Question

How do you prioritize test cases using risk-based testing?
