Test smart: how to explore a product like Sherlock?
- This article discusses exploratory testing, one of the most exciting manual testing techniques.
- Exploratory tests are purely based on human creativity and curiosity.
- These are tests performed without a prepared written script, where the testers are supposed to find issues on the fly.
- The exploratory tests allow us to investigate the system behaviours missed by scripted tests.
- Initially being manual testers, we can not allow tools to evaluate usability, UX, and accessibility, detect edge cases and UI glitches and play with the product as humans.
- Automated tests lack creativity, empathy, and intuition.
- Exploratory testing can also be applied in pairs using peer programming principles.
- Exploratory testing is more spontaneous and informal than scripted testing yet requires discipline to be done adequately.
- No AI-driven tools can replace human creativity, empathy and intuition in testing.
- To achieve high-quality products, we should keep exploring and wear our Sherlock's hat proudly.
