Uncovering the Meaning of Exploratory Testing
The first thing that comes to mind after hearing about ‘exploratory’ testing is adhoc testing. But there’s a difference between the two.
Exploratory testing is a ‘thoughtful approach’ of testing that involves simultaneous learning, test schematizing, and test execution, unlike ad-hoc testing, which involves wandering through an application looking for bugs.
What is Exploratory Testing?
Exploring the software to discover its functionalities and drawbacks is what exploratory software testing does. So, this is a formal testing process that doesn’t rely on test cases or test planning documents to test the application. Instead, testers go through the application and learn about its functionalities.
They then, use exploratory test charters to direct, record and keep track of the exploratory test session’s observations.
How do we go about the charter process?
Our charter process is conducted very meticulously by some of our best professionals.
Identifying the purpose of the product: Once the primary purpose has been established, drawing a charter becomes exponentially simpler.
Identify functions and areas of potential instability:
It is quite likely that some of the functions within the project have a degree of instability. This can be quickly remedied by identifying potential pitfalls and solving them immediately.
Creation of a charter for each function:
Breaking down the project into smaller functions is the best way to formulate a comprehensive charter that prevents any mishaps. Execute Charter: We take great care to execute the planned charter.
We then proceed to design and record a consistency verification test.
Exploratory testing, as a process, includes the phases of discovery, investigation, and learning. The best way to go about it is to explicitly define and maintain test charters and record the observations within a conducted test. It is a hands-on procedure in which testers perform minimum planning and maximum test exploration.
