What is Exploratory Testing ?
Exploratory Testing is a type of software testing where Test
cases are not created in advance but testers check system
on the fly. They may note down ideas about what to test
before test execution. The focus of exploratory testing is
more on testing as a “thinking” activity.

Why Exploratory Testing?
Under scripted testing, you design test cases first and later proceed with test execution. On the contrary,
exploratory testing is a simultaneous process of test design and test execution all done at the same time.
Scripted Test Execution is usually a non-thinking activity where testers execute the test steps and compare
the actual results with expected results. Such test execution activity can be automated does not require
many cognitive skills.

Exploratory Testing Techniques
• Is not random testing but it is ad-hoc testing with a purpose of find bugs
• Is structured and rigorous
• Is cognitively (thinking) structured as compared to the procedural structure of
scripted testing. This structure comes from Charter, time boxing etc.
• Is highly teachable and manageable
• It is not a technique but it is an approach. What actions you perform next is
governed by what you are doing currently
