Exploration Testing
Exploratory testing is an integral technique used at Kualitatem to gain
domain understanding and start a testing project.During exploratory
testing simultaneous learning, test design and test execution are conducted.
Thus helps the testing team to develop an understanding of the flow of
application and functionality in application and come up with queries. This
session is followed by discussion from client side to answer the questions
already developed. Exploratory testing emphasizes the personal freedom and
responsibility of the individual tester to continually optimize the quality
of their work by treating test-related learning, test design, test
execution, and test result interpretation as mutually supportive activities
that run in parallel throughout the project.
While the software is being tested, the tester learn things that together
with experience and creativity
generates
new good tests to run. Exploratory test approach can be applied to any test
technique, at any stage in the development process. The key is neither the
test technique nor the item being tested or reviewed; the key is the
cognitive engagement of the tester, and the tester's responsibility for
managing his or her time and responsibilities. The main advantage of
exploratory testing is that less preparation is needed, important bugs are
found quickly, and at execution time, the approach tends to be more
intellectually stimulating than execution of scripted tests.
