Extra Week Five Content Notes

Expiatory Testing
-An approach towards testing
-it involves concurrently learning designing and executing tests and recording testing notes rather then specifying all tests up front before execution
-it has the purpose of uncovering information relating to risks.

Examples?
explore different types of data that could be submitted via webform.

what is the value?
empowers a tester to use their skills to discover information freely
can be structured to help keep the tester focus on specific risks
helps reveal more information that a scripted test approach wouldn't uncover as you re not biased by test case steps.
Pitfalls
-exploratory testing is an approach that requires skill and practice.
-Note taking is an important part in helping communicate what a tester has done
