🧪 𝐌𝐀𝐍𝐔𝐀𝐋 𝐓𝐄𝐒𝐓𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐒𝐄𝐂𝐑𝐄𝐓𝐒 𝐍𝐎 𝐎𝐍𝐄 𝐓𝐄𝐋𝐋𝐒 𝐘𝐎𝐔 🔍 Because not all bugs live where you expect them—and not all tests should be scripted. Manual testing isn’t just clicking around a UI—it’s a strategic, creative, and often instinctive process. Here’s a scroll-worthy breakdown of the lesser-known secrets that 𝐬𝐦𝐚𝐫𝐭 𝐭𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐮𝐬𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐮𝐧𝐜𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐜𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐢𝐬𝐬𝐮𝐞𝐬: 🧭 𝐄𝐱𝐩𝐥𝐨𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐲 𝐓𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 Test without a script. Discover without a roadmap. Leverages human intuition to uncover bugs automation misses. 🪲 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐏𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐢𝐝𝐞 𝐏𝐚𝐫𝐚𝐝𝐨𝐱 Running the same test repeatedly won’t catch new bugs. Mix it up, or defects start hiding in plain sight. 🔀 𝐋𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐥 𝐓𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 Test workflows sideways—out-of-sequence, edge flows, non-standard inputs. That’s where bugs like to live. 📊 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝟖𝟎/𝟐𝟎 𝐑𝐮𝐥𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐁𝐮𝐠 𝐃𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐛𝐮𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 80% of bugs are found in 20% of the modules. Know where your code is fragile—and test it harder. 🧳 𝐓𝐡𝐞 "𝐓𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐭" 𝐀𝐩𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐚𝐜𝐡 Pretend you’re a first-time user. Click like you're curious, not cautious. You’ll spot usability flaws automation never will. 📐 𝐁𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐚𝐫𝐲 𝐕𝐚𝐥𝐮𝐞 𝐀𝐧𝐚𝐥𝐲𝐬𝐢𝐬 Don’t just test the middle. Push limits—min, max, just below, just above. That’s where systems crack. 🧠 𝐇𝐞𝐮𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐜 𝐓𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 Use mental shortcuts and past bug patterns to 𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐜𝐭 𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐢𝐬𝐬𝐮𝐞𝐬 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐥𝐢𝐤𝐞𝐥𝐲 𝐭𝐨 𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐞𝐚𝐫. Experience is your framework here. 💥 𝐃𝐞𝐟𝐞𝐜𝐭 𝐂𝐚𝐬𝐜𝐚𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 A minor bug today becomes a major crash tomorrow. Manual testers spot these early-stage tremors before they grow. 🤖 𝐌𝐚𝐧𝐮𝐚𝐥 𝐓𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐂𝐚𝐧 𝐌𝐢𝐦𝐢𝐜 𝐀𝐮𝐭𝐨𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 Scriptless doesn’t mean mindless. Reproducible steps, checklist-based tests, structured data—𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐛𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚𝐮𝐭𝐨𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐝𝐢𝐬𝐜𝐢𝐩𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐮𝐚𝐥 𝐭𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠. 📆 𝐒𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧-𝐁𝐚𝐬𝐞𝐝 𝐓𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 Short, focused bursts of testing under time constraints post-session analysis = creative accountable testing. 💡 𝐖𝐚𝐧𝐭 𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐮𝐚𝐥 𝐭𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭’𝐬 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞, 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐣𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞?

Explaining Exploratory Testing with a Real-Life Scenario: A Child Sent to Buy a Product at the Market Exploratory testing is like going shopping for groceries without a specific list. Here’s how it works in simple terms: Scenario: A Mother Sending Her Child to Buy Milk at the Market Background: A mother sends her child to the local market to buy a carton of milk. This task involves several steps, choices to make, unforeseen issues, and potential unexpected situations, much like exploratory testing in software. Step 1: The Task Before the child leaves, the mother gives a brief overview of the task: “Go to the market and buy a carton of milk.” This is similar to setting a goal for exploratory testing. The child knows the main objective but not every detail of how to achieve it. Step 2: Prepare for the Task - The child ensures he has money with him in order to execute the task. - The child is aware of the goal and some requirements to achieve it but remains open to exploring different paths to achieve it. - The child thinks of which market he should go to and other alternatives Step 3: Explore the Market - Upon arriving at market, the child starts looking for stores that sell milk and also pays attention to signs, prices, and other products. - The child notices the layout of the market, which shops have discounts, and where the dairy section might be. - The child might ask a shopkeeper for directions or check different brands of milk to compare prices and quality. This exploration is akin to exploratory testing, where the tester navigates through the application without a strict script, observing and interacting with various elements. Step 4: Make Decisions on the Fly The child faces several decisions: - Choosing the Shop: The child sees multiple shops selling milk. Which one looks the most reliable? - Choosing the Product: The child sees different types of milk, some are liquid while others are powdered milk. Which one looks the most reliable? - Evaluating Options: Some cartons are cheaper but near their expiration date. Should the child buy a fresh but more expensive one? These decisions are like the tester deciding which areas of the software to explore deeper based on initial findings. If you find a part of the application that seems confusing, you spend more time testing it to understand its behavior. Step 5: Handle Unexpected Situations The child encounters an unexpected situation: the usual brand of milk is out of stock or the only type of milk available is powdered . The child has to decide: - Alternative Solution: Should they buy a different brand, or call the mother for advice? This mirrors handling unexpected issues in exploratory testing, where the tester finds bugs or behavior that wasn’t anticipated and needs to decide how to proceed. If you encounter an error or something that doesn’t work as expected, you try different ways to reproduce it. You might find features that weren’t documented or that behave differently than anticipated. Step 6: Completing the Task Finally, the child buys a carton of milk, perhaps not exactly as initially planned but with all necessary considerations made. They return home with the milk and inform the mother about their experience, including any issues faced. - You finish the session with valuable insights about how the application works, what issues need to be addressed, and potential areas for improvement. - Your findings help improve the overall quality of the software. #Exploratorytesting #SoftwareTesting #QualityAssurance, #TestersJourney, #TestingMindset #QACommunity, #TestingWisdom #QaTechBro
