Exploratory testing is a form of functional testing that relies on the tester's domain knowledge, experience with similar products, and intuition to test an application. The tester uses their expertise to identify potential soft spots or errors with minimal effort by assuming special values and conditions. While exploratory testing can find issues, it requires domain knowledge and there is no collaboration with developers.

2.  It is the form of functional testing.
 Testing where Tester domain
experience, knowledge on similar
products/projects, intuition helps in testing
the application successfully.

3. Use best engineering judgment
Domain knowledge
Experience
Soft spots

4. Ex 1: Assume, Y = K (op) J
- op = operator, J = Variable , K =constant
If op=* or / => Special Value= 0,1
If op=+/- => Special Value=0

5. Ex 2: int sort(int arr[] ,int n)
Where n=0 or arr[] is emptyset /and value=1;

6. Advantages:
- Soft Spots error can be identified with minimal
efforts.
Dis-advantages:
1)Domain Knowledge is required.
2)There is no Co-ordination with developers.
