Exploratory Testing in an Agile Context Materials

By on August 9, 2011 in Agile, Presentations, Thinking Like a Tester, Uncategorized

I’m giving a session at Agile2011 in Salt Lake City at 9AM Wednesday on Exploratory Testing in an Agile Context. The session itself will be entirely hands on: we will explore a hand-held electronic game that I brought while discussing how ET and Agile fit together hand-in-glove. However, I did produce materials for the session: a PDF that’s almost a booklet. Thought you all might like to see it.

    This is wonderful Elisabeth. There seems to be the makings of a full blown book here, if you ask me (which, I realise, you didn’t!)

    Good stuff – thanks for sharing!

    Your “stopping heuristics” are good options, but by far the most common one I encounter is “The schedule says that we have run out of time”.

    Fantastic! Very well written, and informative.

    Looks like it’ll be a great session, hope it goes well.

    I do like the content and format of the PDF.
    I found Chapter 2 of most interest; I’ll have to try writing charters in this format sometime.

    Should be a great session only problem it’s 12020.32km away from Chirstchurch, NZ.

    We are not experienced enough and have pain formalizing our ideas about testing. This doc is gonna be of great help. I suppose even experienced testers will take benefit from it.
    Thanks a lot, I’m sure you are saving us a lot of time and mistakes.

    Thanks Elisabeth for sharing such a wonderful article.
    It cleared my lots many queries related to exploratory testing.

    I am still in learning phase of this strategy and this doc going to help me a lot for understanding more on testing.

    Thank you for posting this. I’ve used the original Test Heuristics you posted for a couple of years now. It’s nice to see some new information and how it ties into Agile software development practices.
