Scripted Manual Automated Exploratory Testing
Presented by: Keith Stobie, TiVo
Scripted Manual Automated Exploratory Testing
Manual versus automated is a well-known continuum. Less known explicitly is the scripted versus exploratory dimension and its interaction with manual versus automated.
Join us for the May QASIG to learn about the forces that influence when automation or manual testing is most appropriate and when confirmatory (scripted) or bug finding (exploratory) is most appropriate. Keith Stobie will show the role and benefit of each type (manual scripted, automated scripted, manual exploratory, automated exploratory).
