iSQI Exam CTFL-AT Topic 3 Question 47 Discussion

Actual exam question for iSQI's CTFL-AT exam

Question #: 47
Topic #: 3

You are working on an Agile project and have been asked to implement exploratory testing for the current sprint. Which one of the following is a correct approach to adopt?

AAllocate independent testers to design exploratory tests using test charters in time boxed sessions. Plan to run all sessions in parallel with each session lasting more than 5hours.

BAsk experienced testers to try and find new defects by using the system without the constraint of documentation and tools.

CUse testers who have not been involved in the sprint to write new test cases from the user stories. These test cases are then executed in a time boxed session for the sprint.

DAsk experienced testers to prepare test charters for time boxed sessions lasting no more than 2hours. Tests should be designed and executed within each session using heuristics, creativity and intuition.

I'm just going to throw the entire user manual out the window and see what happens. That's the true spirit of exploratory testing, right?

Option C looks like it's trying to shoehorn in some traditional test case writing into an exploratory testing approach. That's not quite the right way to go about it.

I'm going with option D as well. The key is to have experienced testers design and execute the tests within the time-boxed sessions, using their heuristics and intuition.

Option A sounds like a bit of an overkill. Allocating independent testers and running sessions longer than 5 hours doesn't really align with the principles of exploratory testing.

I think option D is the correct approach. Exploratory testing should be done in short, focused sessions where testers can use their creativity and intuition to find defects without being constrained by documentation or tools.
