Exploratory testing is a hands-on testing technique that involves minimal planning and maximum test execution by working on the basic principle of learning by discovery.

Exploratory testing can prove to be an interesting journey of discovering new bugs, uncovering hidden segments of code that may be harboring a dormant bug, leading to a path-breaking discovery, which may prevent a major issue in future.

This journey is in particular rewarding for the testers with out-of-the-box thinking, which further adds a lateral and analytical element to their technical skills.

This article talks about those “additional” skills required to be a voyager on the path of making discoveries. Click to read more about this blog : Exploratory testing: complementing scripted testing
