STEP 1: Get your bearings

Start with...

Organized in a data driven improvement cycle RDMAICS (Recognize, Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, Control and Sustain), check the…


• Example pre-filled Self-Assessment Excel Dashboard to get familiar with results generation


Then find your goals...

STEP 2: Set concrete goals, tasks, dates and numbers you can track

Featuring 993 new and updated case-based questions, organized into seven core areas of process design, this Self-Assessment will help you identify areas in which Exploratory testing improvements can be made.

Examples; 10 of the 993 standard requirements:


1. When a given program behavior is changed, how does the change influence visible data, calculations, contents or data files, program options, or anything else that is seen, heard, sent, or stored?
   
   

2. Have you landed on the blend of test automation, manual functional testing, structured test cases and exploratory testing that delivers the most value for your business and your customers?
   
   

3. Should you take a Scrum based approach, a lean/Kanban based approach, a continuous delivery approach, or an exploratory/lean startup approach?
   
   

4. Is there any difference found in the defect efficiency of traditional pre test design approach and Exploratory Testing?
   
   

5. What are the security, privacy, performance, reliability, usability, compatibility, globalization, or other concerns?
   
   

6. Which gives an appropriate test execution schedule, taking account of the prioritization and other constraints?
   
   

7. How do you retain traceability back to requirements with Exploratory Testing without losing your creativity?
   
   

8. When a software defect in a system has been found and fixed, which activities should be undertaken next?
   
   

9. What do you do on new code to accelerate time to market, enhance quality, and reduce maintenance costs?
   
   

10. Is it good news or bad news that a million plus members of a regression suite have executed clean?

Results

With this Three Step process you will have all the tools you need for any Exploratory testing project with this in-depth Exploratory testing Toolkit.

In using the Toolkit you will be better able to:


• Diagnose Exploratory testing projects, initiatives, organizations, businesses and processes using accepted diagnostic standards and practices

• Integrate recent advances in Exploratory testing and put process design strategies into practice according to best practice guidelines


Defining, designing, creating, and implementing a process to solve a business challenge or meet a business objective is the most valuable role; In EVERY company, organization and department.

Unless you are talking a one-time, single-use project within a business, there should be a process. Whether that process is managed and implemented by humans, AI, or a combination of the two, it needs to be designed by someone with a complex enough perspective to ask the right questions. Someone capable of asking the right questions and step back and say, 'What are we really trying to accomplish here? And is there a different way to look at it?'

This Toolkit empowers people to do just that - whether their title is entrepreneur, manager, consultant, (Vice-)President, CxO etc... - they are the people who rule the future. They are the person who asks the right questions to make Exploratory testing investments work better.

This Exploratory testing All-Inclusive Toolkit enables You to be that person.
