Risk level depends on how likely a feature will fail and how severe the impact would be for users or business.

Risk in software testing comes from a mix of business impact, complexity, dependency, and user visibility. A highly used feature with critical data or financial consequences has a higher risk. Testers evaluate failure probability, environment stability, and past defects to prioritize what needs more thorough testing.

Risk assessment considers how essential a feature is to operations, how difficult it is to implement correctly, and how costly failure would be. Modules with tight deadlines, new technology, or less documentation are riskier and require deeper testing coverage and earlier validation.
