“Software technical risk can be defined as a measure of the probability and severity of adverse effects inherent in the development of software that does not meet its intended functions and performance requirements” (Chittister, 93)
A consolidated taxonomy of software developoment risk was proposed by SEI (Carr, 1993), which organized such software risks into three major classes: product engineering, development environment, and program constraints.
