How to create a structured exploratory testing strategy

If you want your QA to go above and beyond basic expectations, structured exploratory testing is the secret weapon to elite functionality and good UX.

However, scripted functional testing can only validate if the system works as intended and can easily miss edge cases you wouldn’t even think to test.

Software Functional Testing Checklist

Even when seamlessly combining manual and automated approaches, testing every functional combination within web or mobile applications is challenging. Unfortunately, this means critical issues inevitably go undetected and make their way into the hands of your customers. We strive for perfect code, perfect releases, and perfect apps, but alas, perfection is a myth. With that in mind, if you cannot catch every issue before a release, at least you can take the proper steps to limit them.
