Which of the following statements best describes an appropriate approach for managing exploratory testing?
A) Define very detailed mission statements, which allow testing work to be broken into sessions of up to 10 minutes duration in which testing is guided by these mission statements.
B) Break the testing work in 30 to 120 minutes sessions and use properly defined mission statements consisting of two or three sentences to guide testing during these sessions.
C) Define very generic charters to drive exploratory testing sessions of 2 days where testers are completely free to decide what to test.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Breaking the testing work into manageable sessions of 30 to 120 minutes, using mission statements consisting of two or three sentences to guide testing, is an appropriate approach for managing exploratory testing. This approach allows for focused testing while still providing flexibility for testers to explore and find unexpected defects. Option A is too restrictive, while option C is too vague and lacks structure. Option D is incorrect as exploratory testing can and should be managed, even if it may not be as easily measurable as scripted testing.
