1. A method implemented in a computer infrastructure having computer executable code tangibly embodied on a computer readable storage medium having programming instructions operable to:

  • receive one or more risk factors;

    receive one or more contexts and identify one or more context relationships;

    associate the one or more contexts with the one or more risk factors;

    map the one or more risk factors for an associated context to a software defect related risk consequence to determine a risk model; and

    execute a risk-based testing based on the risk model to determine a defect related risk evaluation for a software development project,wherein the mapping is implemented using a processor of the computer infrastructure, andthe mapping comprises calculating a product of a weighted sum of relevant risk factors for failure damage risk factors and a weighted sum of relevant risk factors for failure possibility risk factors to determine an overall risk for the context.
