WHAT IS EXPLORATORYTESTING?
Exploratory Testing is a style of testing in which you explore the software while simultaneously designing
and executing tests, using feedback from the last test to inform the next - Elisabeth Hendrickson

LEARNING HEURISTICS
TOURING HEURISTIC - by michaeldkelly
• Feature tour
• Complexity tour
• Claims tour
• Configuration tour
• User tour
• Testability tour
• Scenario tour
• Variability tour
• Interoperability tour
• Data tour
• Structure tour
• Feature tour: Move through the
application and get familiar with all the
controls and features you come across.
• Complexity tour: Find the five most
complex things about the application.
• Claims tour: Find all the information in
the product that tells you what the
product does.

• Feature tour
• Complexity tour
• Claims tour
• Configuration tour
• User tour
• Testability tour
• Scenario tour
• Variability tour
• Interoperability tour
• Data tour
• Structure tour
• Configuration tour:Attempt to find all the ways
you can change settings in the product in a way that
the application retains those settings.
• User tour: Imagine five users for the product and
the information they would want from the product
or the major features they would be interested in.
• Testability tour: Find all the features you can use as
testability features and/or identify tools you have
available that you can use to help in your testing.
• Scenario tour: Imagine five realistic scenarios for
how the users identified in the user tour would use
this product.

• Complexity tour
• Claims tour
• Configuration tour
• User tour
• Testability tour
• Scenario tour
• Variability tour
• Interoperability tour
• Data tour
• Structure tour
• Variability tour: Look for things you can
change in the application - and then you try to
change them.
• Interoperability tour:What does this
application interact with?
• Data tour: Identify the major data elements
of the application.
• Structure tour: Find everything you can
about what comprises the physical product
(code, interfaces, hardware, files, etc...).

EXECUTION
SBTM
• develop specific charters,
• time-box an uninterrupted work session,
• create a reviewable result, and
• review/debrief the session afterwards.
