QuestionQ20

Experience-based testing in Agile

You are preparing an exploratory test session for the current sprint, which contains these user stories:

User Story AA-008

As a booked customer of Alpha Airways

I want to access an open flight reservation

So that I can update the booking details.

User Story AA-012

As a booking clerk for Alpha Airways

I want to access a customer’s flight reservation

So that I can view their reservation details.

What THREE items should be considered when creating the session’s test charter?

  • a) What user roles are specified in the two user stories?
  • b) What degree of coverage and efficiency should the session achieve?
  • c) Will the session fit within a 60 to 120 minutes time box?
  • d) Will findings from the exploratory sessions need to be documented?
  • e) What actions do the user roles perform according to the acceptance criteria for these user stories?
  • f) Should the exploratory session be automated?
  • g) Has the Definition of Done been met for both user stories?
Explanation

An exploratory-test charter can specify the actor, the activities the actor may perform, and the duration of the session. The user stories identify the actors and their reservation-access activities, and session-based exploratory testing uses a time-boxed session that may last 60 to 120 minutes.
