With increasing use of agile methodology, reducing budgets and ever chaning requirements I personally reckon ET (exploratory testing) is now more often required.
We all do ET. Sometimes the deadlines are so tight that we have to go to the extent that we do all the testing but have no documentation available to prove what or how much was tested. SBTM helps to fix that problem.
In my earlier post I mentioned that we are trying to integrate SBTM (Session Based Test Management) with our existing infrastructure.
Well finally we’ve done it and also managed to get a sign-off from our PM (project manager) and other team leads on fully implementing on a high-profile 9 month project.
To give an idea here is how we have done it:
- Tester creates his/her session reports on enterprise wiki – so that it is viewable by any and everyone.
- We have a linux web server where we ported all the SBTM scripts provided by James Bach – made some mods to it to read wiki pages
- Call the main script which creates all the reports and voila they’re ready to view and analyse further
Screenshots for the above are also viewable here.
Thanks to James Bach for SBTM scripts and Brian Osman for further instigating the thought of implementing ET and SBTM.

Prevention
Currently it seems like there is only one way of protecting against such attacks and that is by using the ‘NoScript‘ add-on for Firefox.
Just a couple of quick notes:
- We are looking at integrating SBTM (Session Based Test Management) set of scripts to Confluence wiki. One of our experts in Enterprise Architecture team has already had some win with it. If you have done some work around it then it would be good to hear from you.

I’ve been reading The 360-degree Leader by John Maxwell.
The book is about “Developing Your Influence from Anywhere in the Organization”
In the first section the author presents 7 myths that every leader in the middle faces:
- The Position Myth: “I can’t lead if I am not at the top.”
- The Destination Myth: “When I get to the top, then I’ll learn to lead.”
- The Influence Myth: “If I were on top, then people would follow me.”
- The Inexperience Myth: “When I get to the top, I’ll be in control.”
- The Freedom Myth: “When I get to the top, I’ll no longer be limited.”
- The Potential Myth: “I can’t reach my potential if I’m not the top leeader.”
- The All-or-Nothing Myth: “If I can’t get to the top, then I won’t try to lead.”
