A documented set of actions a team can take to reduce the impact of a failure or incident if it occurs in production.
In a testing context, a mitigation plan typically covers how critical flows can be monitored, how a rollback or fix-forward can be executed, and who is responsible for each step. Having a mitigation plan in place before release means that anyone who encounters an incident, not just the original author or lead, can act quickly and confidently without needing to escalate or improvise under pressure.
