Reframing Exploratory Testing

Christian Kram

10:00 - 10:45 CEST Thursday 18th June

As testers, we are used to being curious, asking questions, learning about products, and always keeping quality in mind. For years, we’ve relied on exploratory testing – an approach where knowledge, experience, and structured exploration go hand in hand.

But what if this activity is more than just testing? During my studies in innovation management, I gained a completely new perspective: at its core, exploratory testing is applied innovation management!

In this talk, I will introduce the fundamental concepts and goals of innovation management and show how testing and our daily work connect closely to this domain.

Participants will gain a fresh perspective on exploratory testing and learn how well-known techniques like heuristics and tours can not only help us improve software quality, but also drive innovation and enable better, well-founded decisions around ideas and innovation processes.

What you will learn

  1. What is innovation management?
  2. Where does innovation management overlap with testing?
  3. How can we use exploratory testing to make better decisions in the innovation process?

As a trainer and consultant, my focus is on software testing and agility. For over ten years, I have worked in various roles – from manual tester in comparative product testing to test manager in the automotive sector and head of testing for ERP software.

My main areas of expertise in testing are agile testing, exploratory testing and anchoring quality awareness throughout the entire software development process. As an agile coach and product owner, I have been able to establish agile product development methodologies in projects alongside product quality.
