What Is Exploratory Software Testing?
When to Run Exploratory Testing?
The results of exploratory tests don’t necessarily differ drastically from those you get with scripted testing techniques. These two approaches are fully compatible and can even be used in a project to support one another.
The The uncertainty regarding software behavior is high, and test case writing requires too much effort.
Project documentation Project documentation describing requirements is absent, and it is impossible to create scenarios in the first place.
There is no time to write test cases, but it is essential to check software logic and make sure there are no critical defects.
A team needs to check for the defects that are complicated or impossible to detect using instructions (gaps in logic, UX bugs, etc.).
New tests won’t be necessary in the near future, though creating and maintaining them will require a lot of resources.
