What is exploratory testing? “Simultaneous learning, test design, and test execution” [http://www.satisfice.com/articles/what_is_et.shtml [Bach03]]. This is in contrast to traditional scripted testing where test-case design and execution are separated and sequential steps—first design then execution. Exploratory testing aims at fully utilizing human creativity during test execution, using feedback and observations rather than mindlessly following a script. In exploratory testing, the tester is exploring the system, learning about it and using that information to make test-design decisions. It is best explained by an example. | What is exploratory testing? “Simultaneous learning, test design, and test execution” [http://www.satisfice.com/articles/what_is_et.shtml [Bach03]].

Qu’est-ce que le test exploratoire ? Dans un de ses articles, James Bach le définit comme étant « la combinaison de l’apprentissage, de la conception de tests et de l’exécution de tests en simultané » – [[ | Qu’est-ce que le test exploratoire ?

Cela vient en contraste avec le test scripté traditionnel dans lequel la conception des cas de tests et l’exécution se font de manière séparée et séquentielle avec d’abord la conception et après l’exécution. Le test exploratoire a pour objectif d’utiliser le plus possible la créativité humaine lors de l’exécution des tests, d’en tirer des informations et de les utiliser pour prendre des décisions relatives à la conception des tests. Cela sera plus clair à l’aide de l’exemple suivant : | ||
Imagine that Gita is testing a 2D modeling application. First, she defines the goal of her test session—in exploratory testing this is called a mission or charter. Her charter is “Explore changing shapes by dragging the control points.” She takes a shape, drops it on the canvas, and creates a couple of control points on it. She drags one of them and observes what happens. Based on this observation (learning), she determines the next step (design) and performs it (execute). The shape takes its new form, though she notices—while dragging the control points—that the shape temporarily took a form that it probably should not have. Therefore, she continues dragging it and moving it around until she can reproduce the accidental transformation. | Imagine that Gita is testing a 2D modeling application.
