What is Exploratory Testing?Example of exploratory testing?

Exploratory Testing :
    • Whenever there is no requirement document or there is no time to read the requirement or the requirement document is missing then we explore the application, Understand the application, come up with scenarios and then test the application based on those scenarios.

    OR

    • It is a simultaneous process of learning and testing the application whenever there is no requirement document or there is no time to read the requirement or requirement document is missing.

    • To perform exploratory testing in an organized manner we will take one feature at a time and then we will time box the exploratory activity.

    • Exploratory testing is widely used in the agile model and is all about discovery and learning.

    • Exploratory testing helps us to find bugs that are ignored by other testing techniques.

    • There is no need for any preparation for Exploratory testing.

    • Using exploratory testing critical bugs are found quickly.


Example of exploratory testing :

            Suppose you purchase a new brand phone so inside the box of the phone along with the accessories we get a user manual in which all the details are mentioned about the phone. Suppose you start using the phone and suddenly you want to change the theme or do some changes as per your need so you will not sit and read the user manual instead you will start exploring the phone and its functionality and based on that you will get to know the phone and its functionality better and later on you will do changes in the phone as per your need so similarly in exploratory testing when tester gets the feature of an application, he explores the application understands it and based on that do the testing.
