The Exploratory Testing Experience

Exploratory Testing is an important part of a test strategy, yet it is rarely practiced effectively. Testers may be told to “explore” and then find themselves staring at the product, unsure where to begin (especially in embedded software, where observability is limited). Without the right mindset and techniques, exploration can feel aimless. In this highly interactive session, we’ll cut through the theory and dive straight into hands-on exploratory testing. You’ll test real, dynamic software, gaining firsthand experience in how defocusing and leveraging the right tools can elevate your exploration to the next level. We’ll uncover practical strategies to sharpen your investigative skills, generate stronger test ideas, and inject fresh energy into your testing approach. Whether you’re looking to level up your exploratory skills, introduce new testing dynamics to your team, or walk away with actionable techniques, this session is for you. Join us—and let’s explore together!
