Exploratory Testing?

Simultaneous learning about the product, plan,test case design, execution are done concurrently.

Usually done by an exp tester.

When we have time constraints and no clear inf abt product we go for it.

Hi exploratory testing is simultaneous learning,test plan and execution.

Usually done by exp testers.

Done whenever we have vague requirements about the product and time constraints.

Ad hoc testing conducted by the test organization, to find major defects in the application. Ad hoc testing is performed without documented test cases. It is typically used to verify a build is ready for formal testing.

Exploratory software testing is a powerful and fun approach to testing. In some situations, it can be orders of magnitude more productive than scripted testing. I haven't found a tester yet who didn't, at least unconsciously, perform exploratory testing at one time or another. Yet few of us study this approach, and it doesn't get much respect in our field. It's high time we stop the denial, and publicly recognize the exploratory approach for what it is: scientific thinking in real-time. Friends, that's a good thing.

Exploratory testing is a kind of testing carried out without any prior knowledge about the program.It means you are exploring the software and getting the ideas by testing here and there.

Exploratory testing is performed when there is little to no prior knowledge of the product.  Exploratory testing strives to identify defects as quickly as possible and therefore doesn't waste time studying requirements and authoring test cases prior to the test effort.  Instead, exploratory testers apply domain knowledge and scientific thinking to 1) learn about their products, 2) execute tests, and 3) author test cases all at the same time.
