What is Exploratory Testing?
Exploratory testing provides the organised feel of scripted testing along with the rapid feedback of try to break it testing. Identifying what to test next is where exploratory testing comes into its own – by using structure and fast feedback.Risk areas help focus exploratory testing efforts. Risk areas are things that might be troublesome to the desired outcomes of customers, users and business stakeholders. Risks-to-explore are assumptions and these assumptions might present themselves as actual risks but only if we take the time to run focused exploration to find out. Use risks to guide where and what to explore and you\’ll provide your team with an ongoing evaluation of test coverage.
This is unlike scripted testing which has a defined list of steps. This gives \’potentially\’ the ability to have no/ less restrictions on their actions.
