Hey, Been doing a lot of Exploratory Testing in my current job, and something that really comes handy is logging of your work. So as i do my ET, i keep a timestamped log of what i see, what i intend to do, defects i raised ……. This is stored in folders in a Source repository e.g. SVN. As a result of this i can always go back to any month/day to trace stuff and because it is checked it it is available to other testers.

Now you might say how does a new tester for instance know where to look, we use Jira for managing iteration and stories and for every stories I would create a testing task in Jira. I ensure that i copy relevant summaries in the test task to explain what i have tested and i would also have raised certain defects in Jira, which i can link to the test tasks.

Another thing that help is having regular debrief with some other tester in my team and we are managing it brilliantly …

Enjoy.

Hi Farid,

Loved the report. When I started reading the blog I was wondering what “UnvalidatedRedirects and Forwards” is – your experience report explains the term, and also provide great tips and some key stuff to observe. Thanks Farid, I shall now read the second example of phishing

Hi Farid,

Great experience report and thanks for posting it. Unfortunately you were savvy enough to detct this but I bet others will not be so lucky!

However, the word is out via your blog and now users can can read about a real life example of A8 Unvalidated redirects and forwards!

@Brian Osman
Hey Brian,
The presentation was good and it was great to catchup later as well.

As you rightly said in your presentation, everyone does a bit of ET, but people are scared to use it officially as the perception is it cannot be reported on as to what was tested and why or how!?! SBTM is a great tool to manage that.

I am thinking of trying it out on couple of modules of this major project that we are running. Lets see how it goes.

Yep lets stay in touch and continue exchanging ideas.

Cheers,
Farid

Hi Farid,

Great site! I’ve marked in my RSS feeds to keep an eye on!

Paraphrasing spiderman “With *freedom* comes great responsibility* – absolutely applicable to ET. Lets keep spreading the word about ET!

Well done and stay in touch.

Kind Regards

Brian
