QuestionQ179

Chapter 2: Testing Throughout the Software Development Lifecycle

Which of the following statements about exploratory testing is correct?

  • A Exploratory testing is an experience-based test technique in which testers explore the requirements specification to detect non testable requirements.
  • B When exploratory testing is conducted following a session-based approach, the issues detected by the testers can be documented in session sheets.
  • C Exploratory testing is an experience-based test technique used by testers during informal code reviews to find defects by exploring the source code.
  • D In exploratory testing, testers usually produce scripted tests and establish bidirectional traceability between these tests and the items of the test basis.
Explanation

Session-based exploratory testing can use test session sheets to document the tester’s activities, including the steps followed and discoveries made. Exploratory tests are dynamically designed, executed, and evaluated as the tester learns about the test object rather than being pre-scripted with bidirectional traceability to the test basis.
