It's James's masterpiece again. Brief Encounter, unfortunately, after 5 years of publication, the book was discovered. Much of the book has been successfully applied to large projects within Microsoft. Whether testing or development, should be read carefully, to improve their programming is of great benefit.
at Microsoft, the key software features, known as landmarks, can be identified in advance by using the Guide test method and the selling point test. After selecting the landmarks, determine their order and then proceed from one landmark to another to explore the application until all the landmarks in the list have been accessed. In this process, you need to record which landmarks have been used and create a landmark overlay to identify the progress of the work (consider using mind mapping). 1.

Exploratory testing is different from the traditional testing technology, but also a test thinking, exploratory testing is focused on the software system
Learning analysis, design of test cases, execution of test casesAt the same time, the test is tested while learning the software, which can be
Not enough understandingQuickly find a major flaw. A large number of studies show that exploratory software testing is a good complement to the traditional software testing theory, and the rational use of exploratory testing can significantly improve the efficiency of software testing.
