How to involve developers in Exploratory Testing

Exploratory testing, the backbone of agile development, allows for both a confirmation of what we’ve built being good enough and for a critique of what we’re building. But good exploration takes time, possibly more time than a single tester has within the team. So what can we do? We can ask our colleagues to support us and run some exploratory testing with us.

How to overcome common challenges in Exploratory Testing

Exploratory testing involves testing system behavior under various scenarios, with a predefined goal but no predefined tests. This focus on discovering the unknown makes exploratory testing both powerful and challenging. “Exploratory testing is a systematic approach for discovering risks using rigorous analysis techniques coupled with testing heuristics.” Elisabeth Hendrickson.

Ethical considerations in AI-powered software testing

Integrating Artificial Intelligence (AI) in software testing is a major advancement in software development, enhancing efficiency and accuracy while handling complex scenarios. This technological leap introduces significant ethical challenges, such as concerns over data misuse and the need for algorithmic transparency. Understanding and addressing these issues is crucial for fostering responsible innovation in AI.
