Test Execution Exploratory - NextensArelB/SwaggerGenerationTool GitHub Wiki

Objective

In most cases separate from the Acceptance Criteria noted to a task, User Story or Feature, you as a tester should try and find issues that relate to the functionality but were not covered or thought of before. This is what we call exploratory testing. Exploratory testing is not just randomly clicking around (monkey testing), but is beforehand thinking what scenario's could result in unexpected behaviour of the application. See below for a list of examples of exploratory testing.
