Abstract

Software testing is an important process in a software development life-cycle as validation and verification mechanisms to guarantee the quality of the intended software product. Exploratory testing is a software testing where the testers may interact with the system in whatever way they want and use the information the system provides to react and generally explore the system functionalities without restraint. Exploratory testing allows the full power of the human brain to be brought to bear on finding bugs and verifying functionality without preconceived restrictions. This paper discuss about enacting exploratory software testing in a software project which was developing Student Marking System (SMS) in University XYZ.
