usernameandfactory-droid[bot] <138933559+factory-droid[bot]@users.noreply.github.com> 332578766d feat(qa-methodology): add 5 fillable templates and 3 assets
Templates: test-strategy.md, risk-register.md, exploratory-charter.md,
bug-report.md, verification-plan.md — all with placeholder fields.

Assets: risk-matrix-grid.md (5x5 P×I grid consistent with
risk-based-testing.md and risk-prioritize.py),
test-design-techniques-checklist.md, qa-definition-of-done.md.

Risk Register

Record risk assessment results. Score each risk using the 5×5 P×I grid in assets/risk-matrix-grid.md. See risk-based-testing.md for scoring guidance and reassessment triggers.

Column Guide

Column How to Fill
ID Sequential unique identifier (RISK-001, RISK-002, ...)
Risk Plain-language description of the failure scenario
Component System area or service affected
Probability (15) 1=Rare, 2=Unlikely, 3=Possible, 4=Likely, 5=Almost Certain
Impact (15) 1=Negligible, 2=Minor, 3=Moderate, 4=Major, 5=Catastrophic
Score Probability × Impact (range 125)
Tier From score: 2025=P0, 1219=P1, 611=P2, 15=P3
Mitigation / Test Plan Specific tests or controls that reduce this risk
Owner Person accountable for implementing the mitigation
Status Open (identified, no action) / Mitigating (in progress) / Closed (mitigated or accepted)
Last Reviewed Date of most recent reassessment
Reassessment Trigger Event that forces a re-score (incident, architecture change, release)

Scoring Anchors

Rating Probability Impact
5 Will fail in production within a quarter Data loss, security breach, revenue stoppage
4 Expected to fail within a year Major feature outage, SLA breach
3 Could fail; uncertain Degraded experience, workaround exists
2 Unlikely given current controls Cosmetic, minor inconvenience
1 Extremely unlikely; well-understood code No user-visible impact

Reassessment Triggers

Re-score the register when any of these events occur:

  • Production incident in a registered area
  • Architecture change (new dependency, refactor)
  • New regulatory requirement
  • Major release or migration
  • Quarterly calendar review (default cadence)
  • Team change (key engineer leaves)
  • Customer escalation
