CEO & Founder at LoopQA // Playwright Ambassador // I Interview CTOs on The Daily CTO
Having spent thousands of hours doing exploratory testing as a team, one mistake that occasionally arises is a tester thinking that exploratory testing means just bouncing around the app and calling it done.
At LoopQA, we use the analogy of a fireman clearing a house to explain exploratory testing. Find the baby’s room first. Make sure you've thoroughly checked it before moving to the next room, and so on.
Just because you're doing exploratory testing doesn’t mean you shouldn’t go deep. Happy testing out there!

Who’s up for a little testing trivia? 🎉 Here’s one: 'The first computer bug was actually a real bug.' Drop a comment with your fun QA facts below! Let’s share some laughs while learning. #TestingTrivia#FunQA#DidYouKnow#testing#qa
Fantastic Pablo Garcia Munos about to start to talk about Exploratory Testing. I'm looking forward to his input on this important approach to Testing at #SEETEST#softwaretesting
🐞 Debugging Days A Tester’s Reality 🐞
Some days as a tester are all about digging into logs, chasing elusive bugs, and trying every solution under the sun. It's not always glamorous, but it's where real growth happens.
Patience, persistence, and a problem-solving mindset make all the difference. Every bug fixed brings the product closer to perfection—and that's the ultimate reward! 💡

What is exploratory testing ??
Exploratory testing isn't just a method; it's a mindset shift towards embracing the unknown! 🔍 As testers, we venture into uncharted territories, leveraging our intuition and creativity to unearth bugs and validate assumptions. It's about more than just following predefined scripts; it's about adapting to dynamic environments, thinking critically, and continuously learning. Let's delve deeper into the art of exploratory testing and share our experiences in pushing boundaries to deliver exceptional software! #ExploratoryTesting#QualityAssurance#Innovation#SoftwareTesting"
🎙 Elizabeth Zagroba as an Invited Speaker of HUSTEF - Hungarian Software Testing Forum 2024 presented us an exciting 💻 Live Exploratory Testing!

💭 A few words about the presentation:
🤔 We don’t often see the nitty-gritty, everyday work of a tester live on a 👩🏫 conference stage. It feels like it might be 😪 boring. We do a lot of our work by ourselves, alone at the 🖥 computer screen. We spend big chunks of time interacting with the software, 💡 making decisions, and thinking about what to do next. Very few of our colleagues hear about what happens, and even fewer 👁 see enough of it to describe or pick up some of the skills themselves.
💁♀️ I’m going to perform some exploratory testing live on stage. I’ve built a simple Bookshelf web application, so we’ll have the opportunity to 👀 look inside the product: the code, the API specs, the API tests, and the front end in a browser. 📝 I’ll also have references available on http status codes, accessibility standards, and other relevant guides to use as oracles in our exploration.
⌚ I’ll spend a chunk of time 🗣 narrating how I’m deciding whether something is expected or unexpected behavior (oracles), ✅ how I’m making decisions about what to look at next in the moment (microheuristics), and delivering the test debrief/report that I’d provide in my next conversation with the team.
🤗 We’ll see that specific example first, then we’ll build a general understanding of the tools and techniques I used. ✨ Armed with the name and descriptions of the exploratory testing thought process, you’ll be better equipped to 🗺 map them to your own and turn what feels like ad-hoc poking around into a stategic, repeatable process yielding valuable results that you can 🤝 share with your colleagues.

If you’ve noticed that TestingDaily opens in a new tab every time, don’t worry! It’s not a bug—this is actually a built-in feature designed to enhance your workflow by keeping your current tasks uninterrupted.

Bugs are always discovered rather than invented. Often, this discovery occurs through a specified path, but at times, it may also happen through an unexpected one. Regardless of how a bug is found—even if by chance—the credit for uncovering it rightly belongs to the discoverer. #softwaretesting#bugs#QA#testing#products
