What is risk? How do you highlight risks?

Risk is the probability of an event occurring that could negatively impact the project, product quality, or testing process.

To highlight risks, you can:

• Use a risk matrix, where the probability and impact of each risk are assessed.
• Implement automated checks and monitoring to quickly identify potential issues.
• Highlight risks in documentation and reports with color or special tags.
• Conduct regular meetings with the team to discuss and update the risk list.

For example, if instability is found in the testing environment, it can be marked as a high risk requiring attention and additional control.
