Exploratory Testing in Agile Projects

You will learn about the potential and limitations of exploratory testing. After visiting this training course, you will be able to augment your (agile or non-agile) test strategy with test missions - from planning through execution to documentation and evaluation.

In this seminar you will learn how to enhance your existing test procedure with explorative tests. Explorative assessment not only helps you to find particularly usage-critical errors, but also to identify potential for improvement in your testing strategy. You will become familiar with different forms and approaches of exploratory testing, which you can deepen in many practical exercises.

The templates provided for the practical exercises in the course of the seminar will help you to apply in your projects what you have learned during your participation in the training course.
