Risk Analysis
| Risk | Description | Impact | Probability | Mitigation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Table Processing Errors |
Table content validation unreliable |
High |
High |
* Fix cell extraction * Improve list detection * Add comprehensive tests |
Test Coverage Gaps |
Critical modules lack tests |
High |
Medium |
* Add tests for rules.py * Improve reporter coverage * Document test scenarios |
Performance Degradation |
Rule processing becomes slow with many rules |
High |
Medium |
* Profile rule execution * Implement rule caching * Optimize core algorithms |
Memory Leaks |
Long-running processes accumulate memory |
High |
Low |
* Regular memory profiling * Automated testing * Resource cleanup |
False Positives |
Rules report incorrect violations |
Medium |
High |
* Extensive test cases * User feedback system * Rule configuration options |
Plugin Conflicts |
Custom rules interfere with core rules |
Medium |
Medium |
* Plugin isolation * Version compatibility checks * Clear plugin API |
