Risk-based testing in Testing Fundamentals - Interactive Code Practice

Practice - 5 Tasks

1fill in blank

easy

Complete the code to define the main goal of risk-based testing.

Testing Fundamentals

risk_based_testing_goal = "Focus testing on areas with [1] risk"

Clowest

Dunknown

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Choosing 'lowest' risk which misses critical problems.

Confusing risk with unknown areas.

The main goal of risk-based testing is to focus testing efforts on the areas with the highest risk to catch critical issues early.

2fill in blank

medium

Complete the code to calculate risk as a product of impact and likelihood.

Testing Fundamentals

risk = impact [1] likelihood

C-

D+

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Adding impact and likelihood instead of multiplying.

Dividing impact by likelihood which does not represent risk.

Risk is commonly calculated by multiplying impact and likelihood to prioritize testing.

3fill in blank

hard

Fix the error in the code that selects test cases based on risk threshold.

Testing Fundamentals

selected_tests = [test for test in tests if test.risk [1] 5]

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

A<

B=

C===

D>

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using '=' which is assignment, not comparison.

Using '==' which checks equality, not greater than.

We select tests with risk greater than 5 to focus on higher risk areas.

4fill in blank

hard

Fill both blanks to create a dictionary of test cases with risk above threshold and their impact.

Testing Fundamentals

high_risk_tests = {test.name: test.[1] for test in tests if test.[2] > 7}

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

Aimpact

Blikelihood

Crisk

Dpriority

Attempts:

3 left

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using likelihood instead of impact for values.

Filtering by impact instead of risk.

The dictionary maps test names to their impact for tests with risk greater than 7.

5fill in blank

hard

Fill all three blanks to create a list of test names with risk above 6 and likelihood above 3.

Testing Fundamentals

selected = [test.[1] for test in tests if test.[2] > 6 and test.[3] > 3]

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using impact instead of likelihood in the condition.

Selecting risk instead of name in the output.

This list comprehension selects test names where risk is above 6 and likelihood is above 3.
