Exploratory Testing: A Dynamic Approach to Uncover Hidden Software Defects

Abstract

Exploratory testing is a dynamic and iterative method to software testing that emphasizes concurrent learning, test design, and execution. Exploratory testing, as opposed to typical scripted testing approaches, prioritizes tester expertise and creativity in order to identify hidden software faults. This paper delves further into the concept of exploratory testing, including its foundations, benefits, and obstacles. It also explores recommended practices for adopting exploratory testing in software development processes and emphasizes its significance in improving software quality. Organizations can enhance their software quality and find faults that might otherwise go undetected by using this dynamic technique.
