Prerequisites
- Access the menu Registration > Test > Population (RI214) .
- Population type previously configured.
Presentation
In SoftExpert Risk, it is possible to register the populations that will be part of the test plans and will be used in the execution of the control tests.
The population consists of individuals, objects, or products that share the characteristic that one wishes to evaluate.
This article will demonstrate how to register a test population.

Test plan sample configuration
Sampling method
Select the sampling method for the control test. Choose from:
- Simple random sampling : all fields registered in the population will have the same probability of being selected for the sample. In other words, all fields in the population will have the same weight in the sample selection for the test.
- Convenience sampling : the sample will be selected according to the accessibility of the population fields. That is, the most convenient fields of the population will be selected. It is worth noting that this method is useful in situations where there is personal knowledge of the recurrence of certain characteristics in certain risks, in which the manual selection of the most convenient sample is useful. In this sampling method, the test makes it impossible to obtain rigorous general statistics about the population.
- By quotas : In this method, the population will be divided into groups of specific sizes. In this way, quotas are created. Then, the sample selection is done randomly or by convenience, searching the population for the fields that will fill the quotas of each specific group. To do this, use the inclusion button, which will be displayed, to define the characteristic and the specific size of each group.
Maximum number of samples
Specify the maximum number of population fields that can be selected for sampling.
Percentage of the population
Please specify the percentage of population fields that can be selected for sampling.
When entering values in the Maximum Sample Quantity and Population Percentage fields , the system will always use the maximum quantity as a reference. This means that if the percentage indicates a number greater than the defined maximum value, the maximum value will be applied.
Allow changing the sample quantity.
The Test Configuration and Test Execution options will be selected by default. Uncheck them if necessary.
Allow changing the sampling method during test execution.
This option will be selected by default. Uncheck it if necessary.
The registered test population will be displayed in the menu's record list. If desired, you can click on:
| This button allows you to view and edit the test population data. | |
| This button allows you to enable or disable the test population. | |
| This button allows you to exclude the test population. |
In population registration, it's possible to use Copilot , SoftExpert's artificial intelligence, to assist in creating descriptions, for example. For more details, see the article "Using AI in text creation and editing ".
In the Settings option , it is possible to import data. See how to perform the import by accessing the article Importing population data from the SoftExpert Requirement component, which also has the import functionality and follows the same step-by-step process.
Conclusion
With the test population properly registered, the next step is to register the test plan.
