What Is Exploratory Testing?

Exploratory testing is when testers use their creativity to find bugs that might not be caught by planned tests. It’s like exploring a new city without a map—testing features in unexpected ways to see if they work. For example, testers might try entering unusual inputs in a form to see how the software reacts. This testing helps discover hidden issues.

Exploratory testing allows testers to find unexpected bugs by trying out different scenarios.
