Podcast Episode 22 – Exploratory Testing

Welcome to episode 22 of the Testing Peers podcast. This week the Peers tackle exploratory testing.

After the important check-in on David’s potato harvest, Simon asks us if our curiosity has ever led to us breaking anything – which eventually leads us to the main event.

What do we mean by exploratory testing?

How does it differ from ad-hoc testing?

What skills are required?

How can we tackle the KPI/Metrics conversation?

Have we been exploratory testing without explicitly calling it that?


The Peers mention a lot of really useful resources as well:
