EXPLORATORY & SCRIPTED TESTING

SCRIPTED TESTING EXPLORATORY TESTING

Talks about a predetermined approach to testing in which there is full planned documentation

Deals with the entire set of functionalities of a software system in a step wise manner

A complete direction from requirements and hence test documentation is determined well in advance

It is the tester’s perception with which the testing is to be carried out

Handles the entire system as a whole

Up to the tester’s intelligence, experience and verdict that the testing takes place

More towards exploring facts and is more investigative, spontaneous and adaptable in nature
