but also how to ensure this level of quality is
predictable and remains the same throughout the
entire project lifecycle in spite of frequent changes
and varying release timeframes.

• Avoid surprises

11. • Identify risks and gaps
• Create mitigation and contingency plans
• Track and review risks
• Plan your testing based on risks
#1 Use risk-based approach

12. • Security
• Performance
• Usability
• Maintainability, reliability, portability,
etc.
#2 Track non-functional
characteristics

13. Main principles:
