Example of product risk analysis using the Test Risk Radar.
Each sphere represents an identified risk. The distance of a sphere to the center of the graph indicates the risk level, whereas the magnitude of the sphere indicates the potential impact of the product risk. The black line indicates the risk appetite. Spheres outside the risk appetite area don’t require additional testing, whereas risk spheres in the risk appetite area still have an unacceptable high risk level.
