Testing & delivery risk

Testing is governance when the stakes are real — production harm, regulator scrutiny, reputational damage, and customer impact.

Testing & delivery risk

In regulated delivery, testing isn't a phase. It's a control system. The goal is evidence of safety, reliability, and accountability, not "green ticks".

What this stream covers

  • Risk-based testing that maps to real harms
  • Evidence structures: traceability, audit-ready artefacts, decision logs
  • Where quality fails in practice (and why)
  • Assurance patterns that work with real constraints

Where this connects to governance

If you can't test it, you can't govern it. That's true for AI too, especially when vendors sell "magic" and teams assume the model is the product.

A blunt truth

Most “testing strategies” fail because they optimise for reporting, not risk reduction. This stream is about the second one.
