  • Exploratory testing is crucial for uncovering edge cases and usability issues.

Key Concepts

-- Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment (CI/CD)
A practice where code changes are automatically tested and deployed to ensure quick and quality delivery.
-- Exploratory Testing
Testing where the tester actively explores the software to discover unknown issues without predefined test scripts.
-- Definition of Done (DoD)
A checklist that defines when a story or task is considered complete, including all required testing.
