Testcase prioritization technique to be used in case of risk based analysis

@If it is a new application developed from scratch, then everything is of equal risk and bugs could be anywhere. 

@ If it is a new application developed from existing components/modules, then risks are at the integration level. Each module may work properly but they may not be re-used in the right context or assembled correctly.
 

@If it is an existing application that is having new features added, then the new features themselves are the greatest risk.


@If it is a maintenance release (bug fixes only) of an existing application, then the validity of the bug fixes is first, closely followed by the features that had the bugs.
