Exploratory testing

• Simultaneous learning, test design and test execution

– Tester designs and executes test while exploring product/system,

• Focus on charter, test mission rather than predefined steps,

• “ask questions” about the product, system.

13.04.2023 Referent 5

Differences between ET and Scripted testing

• ET is simultaneous: learning, test design and test execution,

• Scripted testing is sequential: examination of requirements, test

design, test execution.

13.04.2023 Referent 6

Session Based Test Management (SBMT)

• “Formalised” ET,• Framework to manage and track ET.

Session Based Test Management

• Why to use it:– Tom make easier to quantify what work was done,– Measure time spent on testing,– Can address to progress in a project,– More than one test can be carried out in a single session,– Sessions can tell us who tested what,– How, when and why tested,– Useful for planning, executing and tracking manual testing.

How to start?

• Charter – tester sets out his mission for the test session – it helps tester keep focused

within a session and not start other,

• Actual session – time-boxed (45-120minutes ~ 90min-optimum),– Turned off distractions,– All the configuration, test conditions, etc. have already been set up,

• Bug reporting• Debriefing – communicates to the lead the experiences of the

tester.
