Exploring “Exploratory Testing”

Thursday January 13th 2011 9am Rated 11 3 Comments Test and QA Testing Exploratory Strategy
My current team has been integrating exploratory testing techniques for a while now along with the traditional testing methods of manual testing as well as automation. Most of the testing communities that I have known seem to brush this testing technique off simply as “monkey testing” which doesn’t really provide any significant yield on bugs nor achieve high quality bugs. However, I have been observing how powerful this testing method can be from my own perspective as well as by seeing the type of bugs that some of my team mates find.

Omega Tester: Testing with a team of one

Tuesday June 1st 2010 12am Rated 13 1 Comment Testing ST&QA Magazine Exploratory
In the movie “omega man”, Charlton Heston played s scientist-warrior left alive, and alone, after a plague kills everybody on the planet. Well, he’s not totally alone. He also has to fight a lot of mutant zombies. That brings me to testing. Whether it’s cost cutting or a headlong rush to “agile” development, a lot of test teams are understaffed these days. Let me put it this way, if your test team is not understaffed, then it soon will be. Many of the testers I meet are the only tester on their projects.
