integrating exploratory testing into a disciplined test design process

Exploratory Testing has been known in practice for over two decades.  To some people, ET is very much an ad hoc on the fly type of test.  To others, ET has a process to it. However, the process differs from one practitioner to another and from one project to another.  Given the fast pace of project these days and the lack of good requirement documentation, in addition agile methodologies that are becoming more and more popular, ET has become a very common practice in every project.  We are at a point where we can’t resist Exploratory Testing; we need to “legalize” it. Legalization always requires rules, constraints, and processes. This Integrating Exploratory Testing Into A Disciplined Test Design Process training course will use hands-on practices to teach attendees a number of practical methods, techniques, and best practices that reduce the harmful effect of typical Exploratory Testing and increase its effectiveness.

By attending Integrating Exploratory Testing Into A Disciplined Test Design Process workshop, Participants will learn:

  • Understanding the purpose of software testing
  • Understanding the difference between Exploratory and Scripted Testing
  • Understanding the essential test design activities
  • Learning how plan and design for Exploratory Testing
  • Learning how to execute test on the fly
  • Learning how to effectively and quickly document test results and bug reports
