Talk Description

In this webinar, we'll learn the main concepts of exploratory testing and how it differentiates from other established approaches, such as scripted testing with step-based tests. 

We'll focus on performing testing as humans to uncover unknown risks in our products. 

During our exploratory testing, we can use tools, such as the Xray Exploratory App, to assist us with basic things, such as defining a charter, linking it to some existing requirement or story, taking evidence (notes, screenshots, recordings), and reporting bugs.

By the end of this session, you'll be able to:

  • Understand what exploratory testing is and its core benefits
  • Learn how to perform exploratory testing assisted by the Xray Exploratory App
  • Learn how to share charters and findings with other team members
