Session-Based Testing is an approach where test activities are organised into specific sessions. Each session has defined objectives and focuses on exploring the application’s functionality.
Key Aspects:
- Time-Boxed Sessions: Each session has a set duration for focused testing efforts.
- Test Charter: Sessions begin with a charter outlining what features or areas to explore.
- Real-Time Documentation: Testers record findings during the session for later review.
Benefits:
- Increased Flexibility: Testers can adapt their approach based on findings during the session.
- Focused Exploration: Time limits encourage thorough exploration within defined scopes.
- Improved Learning: Testers gain insights into application behaviour through hands-on experience.
This approach enhances the effectiveness of exploratory testing by providing structure while allowing creativity in test execution.
