Exploratory Testing is an informal testing which is used to gain familiarity of the application. In this testing the domain exports will perform the testing on the application to explore the functionality since they do not have the proper requirement document support..

Hi Shekhar Exploratory testing is also called adhoc testing but in reality it's not completely adhoc. Ad hoc testing is an unplanned unstructured may be even an impulsive journey through the system with the intent of finding bugs. Exploratory testing is simultaneous learning test design and test execution. In other words exploratory testing is any testing done to the extent that the tester proactively controls the design of the tests as those tests are performed and Testing Techniques 55 uses information gained while testing to design better tests. Exploratory testers are not merely keying in random data but rather testing areas that their experience (or imagination) tells them are important and then going where those tests take them. Thanks
