What is Scripted Testing?
A structured approach where testers follow well-documented test cases and steps without deviation.
Motivation for Scripted Testing
Provides a clear guide and detailed report of testing execution.
Characteristics of Scripted Testing
Tests are written before execution
Test steps are predefined
Tests are repetitive
Scripted Testing Flow
Start Test
Execute Test Cases
End Test
Exploratory Testing
A dynamic, hands-on testing approach where testers interact with software without predefined test cases.
Motivation for Exploratory Testing
Testers compare planned vs. actual software behavior
Encourages real-time issue discovery
Key Features of Exploratory Testing
Test design & execution happen simultaneously
Generates live documentation
Structured yet flexible
Iterative and adaptive
Ad-hoc vs. Exploratory Testing
Ad-hoc Testing: Fully spontaneous, informal
Exploratory Testing: Systematic, planned, and documented
When should we do exploratory testing?
Lack of specification
Little time avaliable
Increase variability
Software never tested
