Test case testing vs Exploratory Testing

Test case testing vs Exploratory Testing

• So which one is better? Easy answer. You need to
  do both types of testing. No this is not a case
  of just doing more is better!! Test case testing
  vs Exploratory Testing take different and
  complementary approaches for testing a product.
  Lets start with basic definitions.

Test case-based testing

• Test case-based testing

• In this approach the test team sits down and
  defines the test cases that they will be carrying
  out on the day of regression. Here is the
  definition from softwaretestingfundamentals.com
• A test case is a set of conditions or variables
  under which a tester will determine whether a
  system under test satisfies requirements or works
  correctly.

Exploratory testing

• Exploratory testing is a hands-on approach in
  which testers are involved in minimum planning
  and maximum test execution. The planning involves
  the creation of a test charter, a short
  declaration of the scope of a short (1 to 2 hour)
  time-boxed test effort, the objectives and
  possible approaches to be used. For more
