Hello readers, no, don’t think about Jurassic Park anymore! “Then why did you set the topic as the dinosaur egg test?” Don’t you want to ask me? Again, no, I am not going to talk about how to test dinosaur eggs, but…Exploratory testing is something that testers are very interested in. When this ET topic appears in Yahoo/Google groups, it will cause a lot of controversy. Discussion Testing/Quality Assurance. I want to give it another dimension based on my thoughts and processing methods. __ Dinosaur Egg Test___ “Sarah, you haven’t explained why you brought up this topic as the Dinosaur Egg Test, which makes us even more confused. It has nothing to do with exploratory testing.” Don’t yell at me, you Do you want to ask this? :D Imagine that you are exploring a forest that you have never been to before, and you are looking for some food to avoid starvation (if you are not interested in this, you can also imagine that you and your friends are in that forest). The only thing you know in that forest is that the place you started exploring is a safe place, and you are exploring the forest for food (or anything, as long as you understand the context). Surprisingly, suppose you meet a dinosaur egg and your girl. Friends scream in fear (now don’t imagine hugging her to comfort her, just like any other English movie, and think like a tester) Link to exploratory testing-in my opinion, this situation is the simplest explanation for what It is an exploratory test method and method: 1) According to the above scenario, it is an egg (an unexpected result), which makes people think of how it reached that place. The egg caused excitement in the minds of the testers, so the confusion started with how to get back to safety? 2) When you are exploring after seeing the eggs, it is not a good idea to find the places / trees that you remember, on the contrary, it is a lesson to always mark and mark these places while you are exploring, sometimes you can land. directly over the top dinosaur’s mouth. 3) If you start exploring the forest by laying down some identifiable pebbles (data logs), don’t get excited when you see the eggs. 4) Also, if you cannot get back to the route where you came from, you should at least make sure that you will not meet the dinosaur face to face (as if you are meeting your manager one by one), and you must smell the route that you are taking (Additional Steps survey). 5) I hope you get to a safe place. Now you can at least remember the way back to the dinosaur lair, so you know which way to go? (Reproducibility) 6) The dinosaur does not need to always be near its eggs. Once you see the eggs, you should expect the eggs to hatch and your problems will increase exponentially soon (as more features are added, the product will be Analysis) As a tester in the forest, you should always predict more nests (unexplored insects) and many dinosaurs in the forest (escape flaws) 7) Guys, if you are good in a forest like that Exploratory tester, your girlfriend will be very impressed (evaluation), you don’t need to stop exploring … See if you can find a better girl in the forest (bonus). __Fin__Dinosaur Eggs-Test ___ “Find food, sometimes you become someone’s food” Regards, Sarah KluivertBtw, I wanted to talk to you about https://bugasura.io . Its a tool that modern teams use to track bugs. I recommend you take a look at it and see if its suitable for your needs*
