Advanced Exploratory Testing

<default_to_action> When exploring software or investigating quality risks:

  1. CREATE charter with mission, scope, and time-box (45-90 min)
  2. APPLY heuristics: SFDIPOT (quality criteria), FEW HICCUPPS (consistency oracles)
  3. EXPLORE systematically using test tours (Business District, Bad Neighborhood, Historical)
  4. DOCUMENT findings in real-time with notes, screenshots, evidence
  5. DEBRIEF: What learned? What's next? Share via agent memory

Quick Heuristic Selection:

  • What to test → SFDIPOT (Structure, Function, Data, Interfaces, Platform, Operations, Time)
  • Recognize problems → FEW HICCUPPS (Familiar, Explainable, World, History, Image, Comparable, Claims, Users, Product, Purpose, Standards)
  • Navigate app → Test Tours (12 types for different exploration strategies)

Critical Success Factors:

  • Exploration is skilled, structured thinking - not random clicking
  • Document discoveries, not pre-planned test cases
  • Pair testing reveals more than solo exploration
