Exploratory Testing is something that is often misunderstood. It is actually an approach to testing that emphasizes testers ability to explore an unknown object or space through concurrent test design and test execution. While this may not say much to some of you, it is though something that all of us do when we are testing.
In this talk I will discuss the fundamental idea behind exploratory testing and briefly go through sources of information that have helped me develop my understanding of it. My objective is that after the talk you will have understanding about exploratory testing and you will also know where to find more information of it.

"We should just call it testing - when it's not exploratory testing it's not real testing anyway" -Twitter, Summer 2011 Lately many professional testers have started to make a clear distinctions between thing that we call testing (like TDD and BDD) and what they consider testing - referring to TDD and BDD mostly as checking. And actually I – and I would think many of you as well – have seen projects with a test coverage of 80% and more that still fail to meet the clients' needs. Even though they meet the specifications perfectly. This points to some value that could be added to techniques like BDD and TDD by embracing the ideas from people like James Marcus Bach, Paul Carvalho and Michael Bolton. After giving an overview of current trends in the testing community like ET (exploratory testing) and ATDD (Acceptance Test Driven Development) this session will try to do exactly that: discuss the - often missing - intersection between BDD and exploratory testing and suggest ways to fill it.
The document summarizes an exploratory testing workshop. It discusses exploratory testing approaches, common traps testers fall into, and provides tips for effective exploratory testing. As an exercise, participants are asked to use exploratory testing to find issues with a Tilted Twister device within 20 minutes. Key problems identified include inability to detect color differences, motor arm overshooting, difficulty turning it on, calibration cube being too big, and taking too long to solve with memory issues. The debrief discusses the testing process and importance of the tester mindset in exploratory and automated testing.
Exploratory testing in practice, short story how approach influenced on strategyZbyszek Mockun
This document discusses exploratory testing techniques and how one company implemented exploratory testing. It defines exploratory testing as an approach rather than a technique. The company used exploratory techniques like tours and testing heuristics. Initially, their exploratory testing process lacked structure and traceability. To improve it, they implemented a session-based test management approach. This involved planning testing sessions, taking notes within a tool, and having debrief sessions. It helped provide structure while maintaining the flexibility of exploratory testing. They were then able to measure and audit their exploratory testing more effectively.
Exploratory testing is a systematic approach that involves designing and executing tests to learn about a system in parallel. It relies on rigorous analysis techniques and testing heuristics to discover risks. The tester dynamically adapts their approach based on insights from previous experiments to inform future tests. Exploratory testing emphasizes self-directed learning and improving testing skills over time.

The document outlines a tour of an application to familiarize oneself with its features, complexity, claims, configuration options, users, testability, scenarios, variability, interoperability, data elements, and physical structure. The tour involves moving through the application, identifying complex aspects, configuration settings, users and usage scenarios, test features, changeable aspects, interactions, data, and technical components.
The Heuristic Test Strategy Model provides a framework for designing effective test strategies. It involves considering four key areas: 1) the project environment including resources, constraints, and other factors; 2) the product elements to be tested; 3) quality criteria such as functionality, usability, and security; and 4) appropriate test techniques to apply. Some common test techniques include functional testing, domain testing, stress testing, flow testing, and scenario testing.
Basically test design is the act of creating and writing test suites for testing software. Test analysis and identifying test conditions give us a general idea for testing which covers quite a large range of possibilities
The document discusses exploratory testing and Keri Smith. It provides an overview of exploratory testing, noting that it emphasizes personal freedom and responsibility of testers to continually optimize testing.

Tips for Writing Better Charters for Exploratory Testing Sessions by Michael...TEST Huddle
We will look at some common pitfalls encountered when chartering your testing for session-based exploratory testing. After a brief overview of the session-based test management process we will jump into specific practices and techniques to help you and the rest of your team achieve better coverage and find better bugs. A presentation for the EuroSTAR Software Testing Community from September 2012.
The document discusses usability testing, which involves testing a product on representative users to identify usability problems, collect data on user performance, and measure satisfaction, in order to improve the product design through an iterative process before public release. It covers planning tests, conducting tests by having users complete tasks while observers take notes, and analyzing the results to identify issues and make design modifications. The goal of usability testing is to create products that are useful, efficient, engaging, error-tolerant, and easy to learn for the intended users.
BESDUI: Benchmark for End-User Structured Data User InterfacesRoberto García
This document proposes a Benchmark for End-User Structured Data User Interfaces (BESDUI) to evaluate and compare semantic and relational data exploration tools from a user perspective. The benchmark includes a set of 12 representative user tasks on a sample dataset, along with metrics to measure tools' capabilities, efficiency, and time performance in completing the tasks. The document describes applying BESDUI to four different tools and finding one tool performs most efficiently based on the metrics. It encourages the community to adopt and contribute to BESDUI to help drive research on improving semantic search and exploration user interfaces.
The document provides an overview of usability testing. It discusses what usability testing is, why it is important, how to plan and conduct tests, and how to analyze the results. The key points are:
- Usability testing evaluates a product by observing representative users complete typical tasks. It identifies usability problems and collects data on user performance and satisfaction.
- Important steps include planning tests, recruiting appropriate users, preparing materials, conducting tests, and analyzing findings to improve the product design.
- Tests should involve thinking aloud and be focused on meaningful, realistic tasks. Data is collected on success, time, errors and user feedback to identify issues and enhance the user experience.

Get It Right the First Time Through Cheap and Easy DIY Usability Testing - Dr...DesignHammer
“If you want a great site, you’ve got to test.” - Steve Krug, Usability Expert
At it’s most basic, usability is about insuring something, such as a website, works well. Without usability testing results, design and functionality decisions are based on opinion. Despite the understood importance, many organizations believe usability testing is too expensive and time consuming to fit their budget and schedule. We will show how usability tests can be performed both quickly and inexpensively using popular DIY usability techniques. We will cover both analog and online tools for user surveys, card sorting, tree testing, first click testing, and user testing. You don’t need a lot of participants either—many valuable tests may be performed with as few as five subjects.
Takeaways:
What is usability testing?
What, when, and who to test?
List of free and/or inexpensive usability tools
How to plan and run your own usability test?

HCL Notes and Domino License Cost Reduction in the World of DLAUpanagenda
Webinar Recording: https://www.panagenda.com/webinars/hcl-notes-and-domino-license-cost-reduction-in-the-world-of-dlau/
The introduction of DLAU and the CCB & CCX licensing model caused quite a stir in the HCL community. As a Notes and Domino customer, you may have faced challenges with unexpected user counts and license costs. You probably have questions on how this new licensing approach works and how to benefit from it. Most importantly, you likely have budget constraints and want to save money where possible. Don’t worry, we can help with all of this!
We’ll show you how to fix common misconfigurations that cause higher-than-expected user counts, and how to identify accounts which you can deactivate to save money. There are also frequent patterns that can cause unnecessary cost, like using a person document instead of a mail-in for shared mailboxes. We’ll provide examples and solutions for those as well. And naturally we’ll explain the new licensing model.
Join HCL Ambassador Marc Thomas in this webinar with a special guest appearance from Franz Walder. It will give you the tools and know-how to stay on top of what is going on with Domino licensing. You will be able lower your cost through an optimized configuration and keep it low going forward.
These topics will be covered
- Reducing license cost by finding and fixing misconfigurations and superfluous accounts
- How do CCB and CCX licenses really work?
- Understanding the DLAU tool and how to best utilize it
- Tips for common problem areas, like team mailboxes, functional/test users, etc
- Practical examples and best practices to implement right away

CAKE: Sharing Slices of Confidential Data on BlockchainClaudio Di Ciccio
Presented at the CAiSE 2024 Forum, Intelligent Information Systems, June 6th, Limassol, Cyprus.
Synopsis: Cooperative information systems typically involve various entities in a collaborative process within a distributed environment. Blockchain technology offers a mechanism for automating such processes, even when only partial trust exists among participants. The data stored on the blockchain is replicated across all nodes in the network, ensuring accessibility to all participants. While this aspect facilitates traceability, integrity, and persistence, it poses challenges for adopting public blockchains in enterprise settings due to confidentiality issues. In this paper, we present a software tool named Control Access via Key Encryption (CAKE), designed to ensure data confidentiality in scenarios involving public blockchains. After outlining its core components and functionalities, we showcase the application of CAKE in the context of a real-world cyber-security project within the logistics domain.
