{{Short description|Software testing approach}}
'''Exploratory testing''' is an approach to [[software testing]] that is concisely described as simultaneous learning, [[test design]] and test execution. [[Cem Kaner]], who coined the term in 1984,<ref>Cem Kaner, "[http://www.kaner.com/pdfs/QAIExploring.pdf A Tutorial in Exploratory Testing] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130612043734/http://www.kaner.com/pdfs/QAIExploring.pdf |date=2013-06-12 }}", p.2</ref> defines exploratory testing as "a style of software testing that emphasizes the personal freedom and responsibility of the individual tester to continually optimize the quality of his/her work by treating test-related learning, test design, test execution, and test result interpretation as mutually supportive activities that run in parallel throughout the project."<ref>Cem Kaner, ''[http://www.kaner.com/pdfs/QAIExploring.pdf A Tutorial in Exploratory Testing] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130612043734/http://www.kaner.com/pdfs/QAIExploring.pdf |date=2013-06-12 }}'', p. 36.</ref>
