DESCRIPTION

In this session we will look at Exploratory Testing and work through some ideas which could prove useful to you. We will look at what it means and how to explain it. We will look at different ways of keeping your notes, augmenting your testing with various tools and getting the most out of your time spent. We will do this through discussion and practical exercises, essentially, we will be Exploratory Testing, perhaps not as you know it.
