'''Session-based testing''' is a [[software test]] method that aims to combine [[accountability]] and [[exploratory testing]] to provide rapid defect discovery, creative on-the-fly [[test design]], management control and metrics reporting. The method can also be used in conjunction with [[scenario testing]]. Session-based testing was developed in 2000 by Jonathan and [[James Marcus Bach|James Bach]].

Session-based testing can offer benefits when formal [[requirement]]s are not present, incomplete, or changing rapidly.
