I’m having trouble understanding what they mean when they say that assessed level of risk is high. Does it mean that there is a high probability of a risk being present? Or that there is a high acceptable level? Wiley seems contradictory and I can’t find an explicit definition.

If there is a high probability then you would increase testing, but if there is a high acceptable level then you decrease testing. Do I have that right?

Thanks!
