Install QMetry Exploratory Testing Add-on
QMetry Exploratory Testing is an add-on that lets you carry out testing while you explore websites and applications. Install the add-on to record events on an application, then view the results of those recorded sessions on the QMetry Exploratory Testing instance.
Benefits of Exploratory Testing
Exploratory Testing provides the following benefits:
Identifies problems with the website or application under test.
Traces the actions performed during exploratory UI testing in the browser and converts them into modular code that you can reuse for automated regression tests.
Records each event and navigation action, which provides ready-to-use automated documentation.
Logs issues with a single mouse click and lets you add visuals while logging issues, which makes it easier for the development team to reproduce the scenario where the application fails.
