Exploratory testing is a form of functional testing that relies on the tester's domain knowledge, experience with similar products, and intuition to test an application. The tester uses their expertise to identify potential soft spots or errors with minimal effort by assuming special values and conditions. While exploratory testing can find issues, it requires domain knowledge and there is no collaboration with developers.
![Ex 2: int sort(int arr[] ,int n)
Where n=0 or arr[] is emptyset /and value=1;](https://image.slidesharecdn.com/specialvaluetesting-121208061148-phpapp01/85/Special-value-testing-5-320.jpg)
Special value testing
- 2. It is the form of functional testing. Testing where Tester domain experience, knowledge on similar products/projects, intuition helps in testing the application successfully.
- 3. Use best engineering judgment Domain knowledge Experience Soft spots
- 4. Ex 1: Assume, Y = K (op) J - op = operator, J = Variable , K =constant If op=* or / => Special Value= 0,1 If op=+/- => Special Value=0
- 5. Ex 2: int sort(int arr[] ,int n) Where n=0 or arr[] is emptyset /and value=1;
- 6. Advantages: - Soft Spots error can be identified with minimal efforts. Dis-advantages: 1)Domain Knowledge is required. 2)There is no Co-ordination with developers.
