Risk Summary

This view allows a quick understanding of the number of scoped-in Entry Points and their test coverage

• The Test Validation Risk (Scoped In Test Coverage) displays the percentage of scoped in Entry Points that are currently covered by Tests
• Low/Medium/High Impact Risk - The risk is calculated by comparing the number of scoped in Entry Points that are not covered by Tests to the total number of scoped in Entry Points
  

Risk Analysis Aggregated Report

You can select to export a Risk Analysis report. The exported Excel spreadsheet will include the associated entry points, impact, and tests.
The associated entry points are also included in the report, Description, Type, Source, Usage, Last Used, Impact Likelihood, and more.
A dedicated sheet will display all tests, covering tests and Patches Files."
