Explanation
Conducting more tests on mission-critical software is a Mitigation response. Mitigation reduces the probability or impact of a risk-in this case, more testing reduces the probability that defects will make it into production. It does not eliminate the risk (Avoidance), transfer it to another party (Transference), or enhance a positive risk (Enhance). The goal is to bring the risk to an acceptable level before delivery.
