RE: Risk / Contingency / Mitigation Plan

Let me start with definition of the three words used in question


Risk: Expose to a chance of loss or damage

Contingency
: A possible event or occurrence or result

Mitigation
: To act in such a way as to cause an offence to seem less
serious.


As we all know that every software system has a risk factor involved in it.
It is the reason why we need to have Contingency/Mitigation Plans ready.
Typically every testing team maintains a Risk/Contingency/ Mitigation Plan. It
contains the following columns (considering document is in excel) Risk
Description Date Category Impact Areas Root Cause Priority Contingency
Action Plan Mitigation Action Plan Risk Status Risk Close Date Following may
be the risk that most of the projects have

1) Environmental/ Hardware risk

2) Bugs in Software system which are not identified in earlier stages of testing

3) Resources dependency risk
