“How do you know when you’ve done enough exploratory testing?”
“Can agentic testing be exploratory testing?”
“How do I test something beyond the acceptance criteria?”
Software keeps getting more complex, with more services, more integrations and more AI in the mix. Exploratory testing is having a moment again. It’s not a nice to have. It’s how teams find the problems everything else misses.
Isn’t it great? The MoT Exploratory Testing Certificate (MoT-ETC) is now open for early sign-up. It takes a modern view of exploratory testing as a whole-team way of learning. Human-in-the-loop isn’t enough. We need quality-in-the-loop.
What you’ll cover across seven modules:
- Why exploratory testing matters now, and busting the “it’s just ad hoc” myth
- Turning risks into focused, time-boxed charters
- Planning and running solo exploration sessions
- Capturing findings quickly, with AI as your exploration partner
- Running debriefs that end in decisions
- AI-assisted exploratory testing, and the risks of over-relying on it
- Bringing developers, designers and product folk into pair and ensemble sessions
Who it’s for: testers, quality engineers, quality coaches, engineering managers, developers, designers and product people. If you believe quality is everywhere, it’s for you.
How you earn it: you build a portfolio of real exploration work as you go, then take a multiple choice exam. You need 75% to pass, and retakes are free.
Built by the community: MoT-ETC draws on years of exploratory testing wisdom from across the MoTaverse, including Insights, talks, Moments, Ask Me Anythings and the Exploratory Testing Chapter. Many Professional Members are helping to build it, with a team of curators running quality checks throughout. It’s no small feat. We think it’s worth it.
MoT-ETC launches in early 2027, and we’ll release each module as soon as they are ready.
