Exploratory Testing Work Course
This document provides an overview of exploratory testing concepts and techniques including: 1. Exploratory testing focuses on testing as performance and exploration rather than artifact creation. 2. When doing exploratory testing, testers should expect the unexpected, recognize that not all bugs are equal and routes are relevant, and dynamically adapt to limited budgets. 3. The document discusses concepts like mob programming rules for exploratory testing, exploring with intent by creating mission charters, and using a frame of management to provide context during exploratory testing sessions.
