The document discusses challenges with testing software without requirements documentation and provides some strategies to help with testing in such situations. It notes that QA teams may have to test without knowing what the application is supposed to do. It then suggests several paths that testing teams can take when faced with limited or missing documentation, such as UI teams creating screenshots and development teams creating technical design documents. The document also advocates for daily standup meetings between teams to help coordinate testing efforts in lieu of documentation.

Exploratory testing workshop
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.
Tips for Writing Better Charters for Exploratory Testing Sessions by Michael...
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.
Exploratory Testing Explained
Exploratory testing is an approach to testing that emphasizes the freedom and responsibility of testers to continually optimize the value of their work. It is the process of three mutually supportive activities done in parallel: learning, test design, and test execution. With skill and practice, exploratory testers typically uncover an order of magnitude more problems than when the same amount of effort is spent on procedurally scripted testing. All testers conduct exploratory testing in one way or another, but few know how to do it systematically to obtain the greatest benefits. Even fewer can articulate the process. James Bach looks at specific heuristics and techniques of exploratory testing that will help you get the most from this highly productive approach. James focuses on the skills and dynamics of exploratory testing, and how it can be combined with scripted approaches.

What is this exploratory testing thing
Exploratory testing involves simultaneously designing and executing tests to learn about a system. It can be done by an individual or in pairs/groups. Session-based exploratory testing structures the process into test sessions with charters, tasks, notes, issues, and bugs. Tools like browsers and developer tools can aid exploratory testing. Benefits include learning about the system and generating useful information to share, though it faces challenges like differences from scripted testing and barriers to productivity.
A Taste of Exploratory Testing
This document provides an overview of exploratory testing techniques. It discusses that exploratory testing involves simultaneous learning, test design, and test execution. Exploratory testing is tester-centric and focuses on problem solving strategies like heuristics rather than scripts. The document dispels some myths about exploratory testing, including that it is unstructured and cannot involve documentation. It provides examples of how documents can be used for reflection, information sharing, and reporting in exploratory testing.
Santa Barbara Agile: Exploratory Testing Explained and Experienced
Exploratory Testing Explained and Experienced
- Exploratory testing is an approach to software testing that involves dynamically testingsoftware without a fixed plan, using the results of previous tests to determine subsequent tests.
- It is a disciplined approach that finds unknown unknowns and helps testers examine software from different perspectives to uncover more bugs. Tests are performances rather than fixed artifacts.
- Exploratory testing requires testers to be able to strategically choose and defend their test approaches, explain what they have tested, and determine when they are done testing rather than just finding bugs randomly. It is a more systematic approach than unplanned testing.
Exploratory Testing in Practice
Exploratory testing is a systematic approach to discovering risks by rigorously analyzing and testing a system through heuristics and testing techniques. It involves simultaneously learning about the target system while designing and immediately executing tests, using feedback from previous experiments to inform new tests. Exploratory testing focuses on discovering things you can vary and uses models, heuristics, time-boxed sessions, and charters to structure the exploration and focus on important areas.
Exploratory test
This document discusses different "flavors" of exploratory testing that were tried by a CMMI level 5 software company. It describes freestyle exploratory testing, session-based exploratory testing, testing tours, bug hunts, and a general functionality and stability test procedure inspired by Microsoft. It also discusses challenges faced in implementing exploratory testing and how the company addressed these challenges by developing a hybrid approach combining elements of different flavors.
测试向前一步
The presentation discusses moving from a reactive test-focused approach to quality to a proactive quality engineering approach. It outlines a phased approach to preventing bugs, beginning with clarifying requirements, ensuring designs are testable, and inspecting code. It encourages learning from past bugs to identify process improvements. Attendees are challenged to pick one action like documenting a requirement or reviewing code to start implementing quality practices. Effective test case and bug management processes are also highlighted.
Develop your inner tester
This document provides guidance on developing a tester mindset and strategies for effective testing. It discusses developing an analytical eye for detail and skeptical approach. It emphasizes avoiding confirmation bias by testing to disprove hypotheses rather than just verify them. It also stresses generating new testing ideas by considering different customer models and perspectives. Finally, it discusses prioritizing testing based on risk factors like new features, complexity, critical functions and upstream/downstream dependencies. The overall message is the importance of strategic and logical thinking to structure effective testing.
PLC seminar QC deviations
This document outlines procedures for handling deviations from quality standards in pharmaceutical manufacturing. It discusses the deviation investigation process, which involves describing what occurred, analyzing potential causes, conducting a root cause analysis using the "5 Whys" technique, and developing corrective and preventive actions (CAPA). An example CAPA is presented as a case study. Additional quality control topics covered include Pareto analysis and further reading suggestions. The overall goal is to identify and address the root causes of deviations in order to improve quality and prevent future issues.
5 why’s technique and cause and effect analysis
The document describes the 5 Whys technique and cause and effect analysis for problem solving. [1] The 5 Whys technique was developed in the 1930s by Toyota to repeatedly ask "Why?" to identify the root cause of a problem. [2] Cause and effect analysis uses a diagram to brainstorm potential causes within categories like people, materials, equipment that may be contributing to a problem. [3] The technique provides a structured approach to analyze problems, uncover relationships between causes, and identify solutions.
Worst practices in software testing by the Testing troll
The document discusses best and worst practices in software testing according to a mythical testing creature called "The Testing Troll".
Some worst practices presented include relying solely on documentation, focusing only on repetitive regression testing of old tests, viewing automation as a replacement for human testers, and strictly following best practices without consideration of context.
The best practices emphasized thinking beyond requirements and oracles, prioritizing regression tests that reveal new information, using automation as a tool to enhance testing abilities rather than replace testers, providing information about potential risks, and being aware of testing context in different situations. The conclusion is that there are no absolute best practices and testers must be skeptical professionals who consider context.
[Paul Holland] Trends in Software Testing
Trends in Software Testing: There has been a slow realization among the top executives that simply outsourcing testing to the lowest bidder is not resulting in a sufficient level of quality in their software products. In this session, Paul Holland will discuss how American companies are starting to reconsider “factory school” testing and are no longer satisfied with the current situation of simply outsourcing their “checking”. As the development side of software continues its dramatic shift toward Agile development – what role can testers have and how can testers still add value?
Rapid Software Testing: Reporting
Test reporting is something few testers take time to practice. Nevertheless, it's a fundamental skill—vital for your professional credibility and your own self management. Many people think management judges testing by bugs found or test cases executed. Actually, testing is judged by the story it tells. If your story sounds good, you win. A test report is the story of your testing. It begins as the story we tell ourselves, each moment we are testing, about what we are doing and why. We use the test story within our own minds, to guide our work. James Bach explores the skill of test reporting and examines some of the many different forms a test report might take. As in other areas of testing, context drives good reporting. Sometimes we make an oral report; occasionally we need to write it down. Join James for an in-depth look at the art of the reporting.
Testing All the Way Down, and Other Directions
Slides from my talk at CEWT #3, http://qahiccupps.blogspot.co.uk/2016/11/testing-all-way-down-and-other.html
The idea that testing is or can be a recursive activity - or even fractal - has some currency. In that view, a test or experiment generates some data, which suggests new experiments, which generate some data, which suggest new experiments and so on. The kinds of activities being done at each stage will be self-similar and testing is used as a kind of microscope to focus in on some aspect of the system under test. Testing all the way down.
In this talk, I'll instead view testing as a number of different instruments that can be used in an arbitrary number of dimensions. Further, I'll suggest that testing can be applied not only to a system, but to descriptions of that system, to models of that system, to abstractions of that system, to a system which is testing that system, and to a system which is testing the system which is testing that system. And so on. It's testing all the way round.
I'll finish by proposing a definition of testing that I think might capture this wide applicability.
What is What is Professional Testing?
These are the slides that I presented at MEWT #5 https://mewtblog.wordpress.com/2016/02/06/what-is-professional-testing/
Fantastic Tests - The Crimes of Bad Test Design
The document discusses why testing is important and what causes bad tests. Testing provides comfort and confidence by knowing if new code breaks existing functionality. Bad tests have a wide scope so it's unclear what they test, depend on specific orders or system states, are too similar to the product without the same fragility, or are not similar enough to the user experience. The key is for tests to be independent of order or system state and balance similarity to the product with enough differences to reliably fail when bugs are present.
Presentation13
The document outlines seven fundamental principles of software testing:
1. Exhaustive testing is unrealistic and risk-based testing is required.
2. Defects tend to cluster in specific high-risk modules.
3. Repeated identical tests become less effective at finding bugs over time ("pesticide paradox").
4. Early testing in development cycles better identifies requirements and design issues.
5. The absence of errors in testing does not prove correctness or ensure the software meets user needs.
6. Testing approaches depend on the context and type of software.
7. These principles form the foundation of effective software testing.
Root cause analysis
This document discusses root cause analysis methods for identifying the underlying causes of problems. It describes Ishikawa diagrams, which graphically display the potential causes for a particular result or quality issue, using major cause categories of people, methods, machines, materials, measurements, and environment. An example fishbone diagram is shown analyzing causes for burned barbecue at an event. The document also explains the 5 Why technique, where the cause of a problem is determined by answering why five times to uncover the root cause. Maintaining a vehicle according to its maintenance schedule is given as a root cause and solution for it breaking down.
Test automation – the bitter truth
Test automation has some bitter truths that are often overlooked. While automation can help with confirmation testing of deterministic scenarios, many critical testing tasks like exploration and qualitative evaluation are not easily automated. Automation also does not necessarily decrease the costs of testing when development, maintenance, and debugging of automation code is considered. It is more accurate to consider test automation as programmatic testing rather than assuming full automation is possible. Both automated and manual testing are misleading terms, and the focus should be on using tools like automation to extend testing rather than replace human testing.

01. foundamentals of testing
This document provides an overview of fundamentals of software testing. It discusses why testing is needed due to human errors in development that can introduce defects. It defines software testing as evaluating a system or component against requirements or to identify defects. The document outlines the typical test process, including planning, analysis, implementation, execution and reporting. It also discusses testing principles such as how testing can find defects but not prove their absence and how test cases need regular revision to avoid becoming outdated.
Tool Support For Testing
Tool support can benefit testing by automating repetitive tasks and increasing consistency. However, simply purchasing a tool does not guarantee benefits - tools must be properly introduced. A pilot project allows an organization to experiment with a new tool on a small scale before wider rollout. Success requires adapting processes to fit the tool, providing training, and continuously improving tool use.
Approaches to unraveling a complex test problem
When testing a complex system you are often faced with complex test problems. Cause and effect cannot be deduced in advance, only in retrospect.
According to the Cynefin framework, the general approach to tackle complexity is probe-sense-respond. Try something, analyze the outcome, and based on that outcome, try something else. This is the basis of all my approaches to begin unraveling complex test problems. But how do I select my test scope for a specific complex test problem?
Fundamentals of testing
Testing is needed to identify defects, provide confidence, and prevent defects. The objectives of testing include finding defects, providing information, and achieving confidence. Exhaustive testing is impossible, so risk-based testing is used instead of testing all combinations of inputs. Testing activities should start early in the software development life cycle and focus on defined objectives. Defect clusters are used to plan risk-based tests and test cases are regularly revised to overcome the pesticide paradox. The fundamental test process includes test planning, analysis and design, implementation and execution, evaluation and reporting, and closure activities. Independence is important for testing to provide an objective perspective.
Qa Faqs
Software Quality Assurance involves planned actions to provide confidence that software products and processes meet requirements. It includes various testing activities at both the unit and system level. While testing cannot ensure perfect quality, it provides information to improve the software. There are several factors to consider when prioritizing which defects to address, as it is typically not feasible to fix all defects. Testers should provide severity data to help inform prioritization decisions made by other stakeholders.
Testing 1 - the Basics
Testing is done throughout development to minimize risks. Testers evaluate the product, create test conditions, and identify potential issues to improve quality. Effective testing considers coverage of the product's structure, functions, data, interfaces, platform, and operations through accurate models and test procedures. Testers communicate risks and results so informed decisions can be made.
Rapid Software Testing: Strategy
A test strategy is the set of ideas that guides your test design. It's what explains why you test this instead of that, and why you test this way instead of that way. Strategic thinking matters because testers must make quick decisions about what needs testing right now and what can be left alone. You must be able to work through major threads without being overwhelmed by tiny details. James Bach describes how test strategy is organized around risk but is not defined before testing begins. Rather, it evolves alongside testing as we learn more about the product. We start with a vague idea of our strategy, organize it quickly, and document as needed in a concise way. In the end, the strategy can be as formal and detailed as you want it to be. In the beginning, though, we start small. If you want to focus on testing and not paperwork, this approach is for you.

Testing and quality romi
Testing helps measure software quality by finding defects, running tests, and ensuring test coverage. It can evaluate both functional and non-functional requirements. Finding few defects through rigorous testing increases confidence in software quality, while poor testing may leave issues undiscovered. Root cause analysis seeks to understand the underlying reasons for failures by examining possible causes and grouping them. Understanding root causes of prior defects can help prevent issues and improve future quality.
Lesson 7...Question Part 1
Software quality refers to how well a software product or service meets requirements and expectations. It is subjective as it depends on the perspective of the customer. Common aspects of quality include the software being bug-free, delivered on time and on budget, meeting requirements, and being maintainable. True software quality can only be determined by measuring how well the software serves its intended purpose from the viewpoint of all stakeholders.
Mindmaps and heuristics tester's best friends - lalit bhamare
This document provides an overview of a presentation by Lalitkumar Bhamare on using mind maps and heuristics as effective testing tools. It begins with Lalitkumar's background and expertise in software testing. It then discusses how mind maps can be used for requirements review, impact analysis, test planning, and test reporting. Various heuristics are also presented for critical thinking, test coverage design, problem finding, and defect reporting. Overall, the document promotes mind maps and heuristics as helpful techniques for testers to design effective test cases and strategies, especially in quickly changing environments.
Exploratory Testing - A Whitepaper by RapidValue
Exploratory testing is a hands-on approach that involves simultaneous test design, execution, and learning. It minimizes planning and maximizes test execution. Exploratory testing is beneficial for situations with time constraints or limited product knowledge, as it reduces test design time by designing and executing tests in parallel. Key advantages include finding important bugs, increasing test coverage, and enhancing understanding of the product being tested.
Testing and quality
The document summarizes key concepts in software testing and quality assurance. It discusses how testing helps measure software quality by finding defects. It also explains how testing can increase confidence in a software system if it finds few bugs, and how fixing defects found through testing improves quality. The document then discusses how projects aim to deliver high quality software that meets customer needs and specifications through validation and verification. Finally, it discusses root cause analysis for addressing the underlying causes of failures.
Get the Balance Right: Acceptance Test Driven Development, GUI Automation and...
The document discusses different testing approaches including Acceptance Test Driven Development (ATDD), Test Driven Development (TDD), GUI automation, and exploratory testing. It explains that ATDD and TDD are design processes that help ensure software meets project needs, while testing involves asking questions of a product. GUI automation can simulate user actions but is fragile. Exploratory testing involves testing design and execution together in a flexible way. The document argues that these approaches work best in balance and that exploration is important at all levels, including with automation. It emphasizes putting the customer first and seeing the approaches as interdependent parts of an overall quality process.

Rapid Software Testing: Strategy
A test strategy is the set of ideas that guides your test design. It's what explains why you test this instead of that, and why you test this way instead of that way. Strategic thinking matters because testers must make quick decisions about what needs testing right now and what can be left alone. You must be able to work through major threads without being overwhelmed by tiny details. James Bach describes how test strategy is organized around risk but is not defined before testing begins. Rather, it evolves alongside testing as we learn more about the product. We start with a vague idea of our strategy, organize it quickly, and document as needed in a concise way. In the end, the strategy can be as formal and detailed as you want it to be. In the beginning, though, we start small. If you want to focus on testing and not paperwork, this approach is for you.
1 testing fundamentals
This document discusses fundamentals of software testing. It explains that testing is necessary due to human errors that can lead to defects, and defects can cause failures in software systems impacting users. The key aspects covered are: why testing is needed, what testing entails, testing principles like early testing and defect clustering, the fundamental test process of planning, designing, executing and reporting tests, how much testing is sufficient depending on risk, and skills needed in testers like curiosity and attention to detail.
Software Testing 2/5
Damian Gordon was a Dutch computer scientist born in 1930 in Rotterdam who received the 1972 Turing Award. He developed several programming language principles including that testing shows presence of bugs but not absence, exhaustive testing is impossible, early testing is important, and defects often cluster in small areas of code. He stressed the importance of risk analysis, test objectives, and regularly updating test cases to find new issues rather than relying on the same cases. Testing approaches must also be tailored to contexts like safety-critical systems versus ecommerce.
fundamentals of testing (Fundamental of testing what)
This document discusses fundamentals of software testing, including definitions, objectives, and principles. It defines software testing as evaluating a system or component against testing criteria like requirements and design specifications. It aims to find defects, improve quality, and prevent defects. The document uses an analogy comparing software testing to driving tests, and discusses how testing helps identify defect clusters to focus testing efforts. It also explains that while testing can find many defects, it cannot prove a system is defect-free, and that users ultimately care about a software's ability to meet their needs.
Fundamentals of testing
This document discusses fundamentals of software testing. It explains that testing is important to identify defects that can cause problems. Testing helps measure software quality by finding bugs and ensuring requirements are met. However, exhaustive testing of all possible inputs is impossible, so risk-based testing is used instead. Testing activities should start early and continue through the software development life cycle. The goal of testing is to reduce risks and improve the software, not just find defects.
