Turbulent Testing: Managing Quality Through Risk Management

How can quality be maintained when regression is growing, automation cannot keep up with business, and urgent tasks are disrupting processes? Would it be possible to reduce the workload of QA without losing control over risks? 

This talk introduces the “Turbulent Testing” strategy – a systematic approach to quality management under unstable workloads. Instead of a one-size-fits-all process, it proposes a context-adaptive model where testing depth is determined by the criticality and risk of the task. 

We will discuss practical implementation mechanisms, task categorisation examples, dynamic Quality Gates, and the impact of this strategy on decision transparency, business trust, and key product metrics.
