Inputs to gather first

application architecture
business requirements
change history

Recommended workflow

Step 1: Identify and catalog application components
Step 2: Assess business impact and technical complexity
Step 3: Analyze change frequency and defect history
Step 4: Calculate risk scores and prioritize
Step 5: Design test coverage based on risk levels
Step 6: Implement and continuously refine
