Exploratory testing is an underestimated testing
type. Some managers do not find it necessary to
conduct it in course of web site testing, desktop
testing and mobile application testing. Some
people consider that it can be executed only when
all the planned testing types have already been
performed.

The peculiarity of exploratory testing is that it
is carried out manually, without test cases and
plan. Some aspects of exploration are in
any functional testing, compatibility
testing, usability testing and other tests. Wise
managers encourage testers to be creative and
explore the application as exploration is the
essence of software testing.

If all the works are conducted strictly according
to the determined plan and procedures, the
testers may lose creativity and just execute the
tests without thinking. Errors that are not
covered with the test plan will not be found with
such an approach the test engineers will not
give useful recommendations on how one can
improve the product.
