Program Overview: What is Exploratory Testing?
Exploratory Testing is a 19-hour program for QA engineers, agile teams, and developers who test software. Across 5 modules it covers exploratory mindset, charters, heuristics, techniques, and strategy. It suits teams that need to find what scripted testing misses.
Training is hands-on: every concept is taught through guided labs: participants run chartered sessions, design charters, apply heuristics and tours, advocate bugs, and build a testing strategy. Labs use real applications, with instructor review at every stage.
Teams struggle with shallow testing: script-only coverage, missed bugs, and late discoveries. This program builds real exploratory skill: purposeful charters, sharp heuristics, and agile fit. Your testing finds what matters.
A 5-hour capstone closes the program, where participants design strategy and present an exploratory testing plan.

Explore Software Risks Through Purposeful Charters and Evidence-Rich Test Sessions
Edstellar develops exploratory testing through session management, charters, heuristics, and varied testing techniques. Testers combine structured curiosity with clear notes before connecting their findings to agile delivery. The final strategy is reviewed for focused coverage, useful bug advocacy, and a balanced relationship with automation rather than treating unscripted testing as unplanned activity.
- Step 01
Consult
We explore testing responsibilities and current coverage, identifying gaps in charter focus, heuristic use, session notes, state exploration, and communication of exploratory findings.
- Step 02
Plan
We establish the exploratory mindset and session management before charter design and oracles, then tours, boundaries, and state modeling within an agile testing strategy.
- Step 03
Align
We align exploratory-testing facilitation with QA engineers, developers, and test leads, using their domain knowledge while introducing session discipline and evidence-based reporting methods.
- Step 04
Customize
We tailor sample application risks, personas, workflows, and state transitions to relevant products, defining charter missions and observable questions before each exploration.
- Step 05
Execute
Participants run chartered sessions, apply tours, and investigate boundaries in pairs, receiving feedback on notes, test reasoning, reproducibility, and persuasive presentation of defects.
- Step 06
Evaluate
We assess the strategy for a coherent charter portfolio, useful session evidence, clear bug advocacy, and a team plan that complements scripted tests and automation.
