Why is exploratory testing often combined with other structured testing techniques in a testing cycle?
- For better test coverage
- To find more defects
- To make testing more exciting
- To reduce testing time
Exploratory testing, being less structured, allows testers to rapidly identify and react to software behavior. When combined with structured testing, it ensures that not only are predetermined test cases being executed, but the tester's experience, intuition, and creativity also come into play to provide a more comprehensive test coverage. This synergistic combination often results in discovering defects that might have been overlooked with only a structured approach.
