'''Session-based testing''' is a software test method that combines [[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 test]]ing. Session-based testing was developed in 2000 by Jonathan and James Bach.

Session-based testing can be used to introduce measurement and control to an immature test process, and can form a foundation for significant improvements in productivity and error detection. Session-based testing is ideal when formal [[requirement]]s are not present, incomplete, or changing rapidly.
