Inside the Word template
A table you can adapt to your project.
This is the risk-classification table from section 5.2 of the editable template. Replace the bracketed prompts with the definitions and testing response agreed for your product.
Scroll sideways to read all columns.
| Risk class | Meaning | Expected test response |
|---|---|---|
| A / Critical | [Highest exposure] | [Deepest coverage, strongest evidence and early execution] |
| B / Significant | [Material exposure] | [Focused coverage and targeted techniques] |
| C / Limited | [Lower exposure] | [Proportionate checks and explicit residual risk] |
Start with a document. Move to a connected plan when you need it.
Use the free template to document a test approach manually. It gives you a practical structure for scope, business and product risk, strategy, effort, budget, roles and governance.
Use RiskRover when you want the plan to remain connected to the underlying product structure, risk assessment, strategy, effort and budget as the project changes. This planning workflow is available on Free for one user.
The template is useful on its own; a RiskRover account is not required.
