Exploratory testing provides both flexibility and speed, characteristics that have become increasingly important with the quick pace of short agile iterations. But, how do you retain traceability in exploratory testing without losing your creativity? By using a combination of session-based test management (SBTM) and thread-based test management (TBTM) called xBTM. xBTM unites the two exploratory techniques to get the full advantage of both, from test planning to test reporting.

This webinar will discuss the difference between SBTM and TBTM, and how the two methods can be combined for best efficiency. Christin will walk you through the xBTM workflow from test planning, through design and execution, to reporting, and explain how you can make exploratory testing structured, organized and traceable, without sacrificing the high bug-discovery potential.
