High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I structure exploratory testing sessions for complex systems?

You can structure exploratory testing sessions using Session-Based Test Management (SBTM), which provides a framework for planning and executing discovery. This skill implements SBTM to guide systematic investigation.

What are test tours and how do they guide software exploration?

Test tours are predefined exploration guides that direct systematic investigation of software features. This skill uses test tours alongside RST heuristics to ensure targeted risk-based coverage during testing sessions.

Can I use AI agents to assist with exploratory testing?

Yes, AI-assisted testing is supported through agent coordination. This skill integrates with specified AI agents to provide additional support and automation during your exploratory testing execution.

How do Risk-Based Testing heuristics work in exploratory testing?

Risk-Based Testing (RST) heuristics focus your exploration on areas with the highest potential impact. This skill applies RST heuristics to prioritize investigation efforts and uncover critical defects efficiently.

Do I need prior testing knowledge to use this exploratory testing framework?

Yes, using this exploratory testing framework requires an understanding of software testing principles and familiarity with AI-assisted testing to effectively configure charters and heuristics.

What's the best way to start an exploratory testing session with SBTM?

To start an exploratory testing session with SBTM, specify your charter and heuristics, then let the system guide you through the exploration process step by step.
