Exploratory Testing: The Unsung Hero

Create Meme
A meme showing an elephant balancing on a beach ball, labeled “Production bugs no automation ever caught,” with the ball labeled “Shiny dashboards showing 95% pass rate,” and ants under the ball labeled “Me, quietly exploring edge cases without AI hype.”

This meme captures the reality many testers face when flashy automation dashboards show near-perfect pass rates, but bugs still slip into production. Often, it’s the quiet power of exploratory testing, fueled by critical thinking and domain knowledge (not just AI), that uncovers the edge cases no one planned for.
