Exploratory testing
is an approach concept of software testing where the tester combines application
learning, test design and test execution in the same activity. This
approach can showcase the results that a skilled tester can provide with
manual tests as it recognizes that the next test we do is influenced by the result of the last test we did. It is Agile in nature as it emphasizes the tester's autonomy, skill and creativity.
The main advantage of exploratory testing is that less preparation is needed, important bugs are found quickly, and at execution time, the approach tends to be more intellectually stimulating than execution of scripted tests, but it is not a replacement for scripted and automated tests. It is more a complementary approach that provides additional software quality practices to the software testing activity.
