Let's see a list of potential risk factors and their explanations that I would include in the test plan for a web-based application:
1. Performance Risk: The risk that the application may not perform optimally under expected loads, leading to slow response times or system crashes.
2. Security Risk: The risk that the application may be vulnerable to security breaches, such as unauthorized access, data theft, or injection attacks.
3. Compatibility Risk: The risk that the application may not function correctly across different browsers, operating systems, or devices, leading to inconsistent user experiences.
4. Usability Risk: The risk that the application may be difficult to use or navigate, leading to user frustration and decreased adoption rates.
5. Functional Risk: The risk that the application may not meet all specified functional requirements, leading to incorrect behavior or missing features.
6. Integration Risk: The risk that the application may not integrate seamlessly with other systems or third-party services, leading to data inconsistencies or interoperability issues.
7. Data Integrity Risk: The risk that the application may not properly validate or store data, leading to data corruption, loss, or inaccuracy.
*8. Accessibility Risk: * The risk that the application may not be accessible to users with disabilities, leading to legal liabilities or exclusion of a portion of the user base.
9. Scalability Risk: The risk that the application may not scale to accommodate increasing user loads or data volumes, leading to performance degradation or system failures.
10. Regulatory Compliance Risk: The risk that the application may not comply with relevant laws, regulations, or industry standards, leading to legal penalties or reputational damage.
Including these risk factors in the test plan ensures thorough coverage and helps mitigate potential issues before they impact the success of the application.
