What if there is not enough time for thorough testing

What if there is not enough time for thorough testing ?

If we have enough time to test the application then it is not a problem at all. But if there isn’t enough time for through testing of application, in this situation it won’t possible to test each & every combination of scenario. The Risk analysis is playing vital role in Software Testing, we recommend that you should use risk analysis to determine where testing should be focused. Most of the times, it's not possible to test the whole application within the specified time. In such situations.
Here are some points to be considered when you are in such a situation:

  1. What is the most important functionality of the project ?
  2. What is the high-risk module of the project ?
  3. Which functionality is most visible to the user ?
  4. Which functionality has the largest safety impact ?
  5. Which functionality has the largest financial impact on users ?
  6. Which aspects of the application are most important to the customer ?
  7. Which parts of the code are most complex, and thus most subject to errors ?
  8. Which parts of the application were developed in rush or panic mode ?
  9. What do the developers think are the highest-risk aspects of the application ?
  10. What kind of problems would cause the worst publicity ?
  11. What kind of problems would cause the most customer service complaints ?
  12. What kind of tests could easily cover multiple functionalities ?
