Exploratory testing is like walking around a city without a map. You will discover things you never thought to look for in the first place. We can apply this mindset to building products; to keep users happy and content, you have to explore your own product and be curious along the way. I believe this way of testing is essential in the world of software and hope to convince you of that too. Based on my previous explorations, I will describe in this talk how you can approach testing your projects using exploratory testing by taking advantage of your own natural curiosity.

This talk is ideal for everyone from new testers or seasoned QA experts or people thinking of switching careers to quality assurance.

I have extensive background in software quality assurance for over 12 years, with expertise in functional, non-functional, smoke, regression and exploratory . I have also been mentoring people in the community to start careers in QA.
